The point I was trying to make in the part of my message you snipped is
that different teams value different skills.

If you don't feel that adeptness with recursion is what marks out the
really useful people in your team, then ask about something else
instead.

That a particular question is only relevant to some teams doesn't make
it a poor question in the abstract.
