so ... if they ask the same generic questions that gives you plenty of time to prepare and rehearse, right? isn't that totally the opposite of "on the spot" ?

And they know everyone comes in rehearsed to give the "correct" answers (lie) yet still go through it all anyway. It's like "how well can you lie to us" while we deny you are lying.

The more technical the job, the more technical the questions, which is vital for some jobs.

For an entry level job, they just want to see how you handle pressure, and to make sure you're not totally uncalibrated an individual.
