All the more reason to NEVER simply answer overtly subjective questions
nor objective sounding questions.

With the former you'll never know what the filtering criteria is and with
the later, you don't necessarily have any idea what the actual subjective
filter is or if the question won't be interpreted subjectively.

ALWAYS take control. Ask for clarifications, prod for reactions and
comments, pose your own questions. No interview should be one-way.
