Agree, although this is often an undeveloped skill in newer folks. There are many other things I like to discuss in an interview: past mistakes, things they are especially proud of, times they trimmed scope to meet a deadline, working with difficult people, etc.
My goal for interviewing is to either hire the person, or not hire the person but have them walk away feeling like they got something out of our time together. Often I can quickly tell that the person isn't right for the role, in which case I will politely explain that to them and offer whatever advice I can.
