Somewhat tangential to the point of the thread, but this is why I always push back on the idea of giving new grad and junior engineer candidates systems design interviews. There are other reasons too, but the likelihood that they would have studied or experienced it beyond interview prep is low.

knowing something means you've either experienced or studied something. I can write an HTML form from memory, but I can't invert a binary tree or write a sorting algorithm without looking it up (never needed it for real, never studied it) has nothing to do with my value as a person (lil thread 👇)
