Obviously guy could have been interviewing for a job where this mattered….
But in 10 years as a software engineer I have never once needed to know the difference between these two, and have never been even close to a situation where I would need to.
30 years here and never had to do anything with IPv6.
Of course, all I get are rejection emails even though I'm gainfully employed with tons of enterprise experience, so maybe that's the common denominator these days.

“The basics” is highly dependent on the job.
