Hum... I'd say that the entire point of security question is that incompetent people can appease non-technical bosses by claiming that they follow best practices.
Where they stand at the security line is irrelevant, because their mere existence on a place is already a symptom of a deep level of incompetence and an almost sure prediction of a compromised system. Besides, security is usually chain-like (compromise one node and it's broken), not army-like (compromise one node and you'll have to fight the next).
Besides, most people do not have a favorite color, do not remember the name of their 3rd grade teacher, and have severe doubts about what counts as their "first" pet. Yes, they are intended into solving a real problem, but nothing about them survives any amount of questioning.
