You are technically correct. But you must admit it sounds pretty bad to say "Yeah, the idea of the behavioral technical interview is the interviewer asks questions that look like they admit honest answers, but you should actually lie to them, and they expect you to lie, and actually it's a charade you play with your interviewer, and if you don't understand this (which is never explained to you) then you will immediately be rejected."
I can definitely understand the perspective of someone who has done few interviews not understanding this and being upset/confused!
I paid for interview coaching at interviewing.io. This is the coaching I got about the behavioral interview:
- "There is no place for honesty in a behavioral interview. No one is going to check your story."
- Tell a story about a time when you got into a dispute, ideally with your boss, over a work-related issue, and you won the dispute.
- If you have no relevant story, I [the coach] will write one for you to memorize.
