Recently, i was in a technical interview with a QA lead with several years working experience in this field. During the interview, the interviewer asked questions, which made me doubtful about his automation skills. I do understand that, leaders do not need to have all the technical skills, but he is suppose to be a technical QA lead. 

I wish to work in a team which the **QA lead** is by far knowledgeable than me. It gives me the opportunity to learn from him. 

But, during the interview, the team lead asked meaningless, questions regarding `CSS-Selector`, `Lombok`, and `Eclipse (STS)` and he made me cast doubt on his programming (automation) skills.

In which extend do you agree with the following statement?

> ***During the interview, the interviewers evaluate applicant based on his answers, and the applicant can evaluate the interviewers based on
> their questions.***

 
Of course, i know, the applicant also has the opportunity to ask questions, but i believe evaluation based on questions is deeper.For sure, the applicant cannot ask technical questions from interviewers, so i believe, the only way to evaluate the technical knowledge of the the team lead is his questions.
