It's not that it's difficult, but I think the questions, as asked, are a bit too sly for their own good. People don't necesssarily react well to 'trick' questions. If the question is phrased in such a way that it makes a 'qualified' candidate think "Oh my god, these QUESTIONS are wrong"... then how do they feel comfortable answering them without seeming too arrogant? They either answer the question "they" would have asked, if the situation were reversed (and since no-one is a mind reader, perhaps they'll get it wrong) or they'll try to describe the 3 or 4 things *wrong* with the question...(and end up answering some variant of the 'actual' question in that process) Or maybe they'll think those approaches are too arrogant, and would worry that to the poser of the question, it would be "telling him his job".
