I think simple questions on CF, HTML or whatever they say they can do can be
used as an added decision making tool but not the only thing to base your
decision on.
We have had people hired that didn't know the basics and they could have
been weeded out with some simple basic questions. Now this is a problem when
the person hiring doesn't know specific questions to ask. So you just need
to inform the interviewer of some basic stuff this person should already
know.
I had a test at a interview. I had to write a page of HTML by hand with
pencil and paper. I do not keep all attribute details of every tag in my
head, so I'm sure they didn't like my response to the test. I personally do
not think that is a correct way to hire people. Memorizing things is a basic
form of knowledge, but how the person applies it is what makes them a
professional.
