In my mind, yes, it's mainly a trick, made to test you!
Anyway, as somebody pointed out on a forum, in an interview people may 
want to ask you "if you ever developed boards in your spare time... i.e. 
when you were not asked to do them".
You can of course answer "no" (it means you also have a life :-) )
but the person interviewing you has the interest to know how 
"appassionate" you are in your work. He does not care about your 
personal life, so, if you reply "I create PIC boards at night" you're 
probably going to gain some points!

So, asking a Network admin how to replace a board or repair it, does not 
mean he has to be able to... but in case he can, the better!
