While you're interviewing job candidates, candidates are also interviewing the company, and evaluating whether it is a good fit for them or not. While I agree that some of the questions in the article are bad, I think you should try to answer as much as possible from the company side, so as to be as transparent as possible.
You've to show that you're ready to adapt with the company needs. I don't have a crystal ball to tell you exactly what you will be working on.
There is a difference between asking for a crystal ball, and asking which of the tech listed on the job advert is actually relevant.
Remember, this question is asked due to widespread misrepresentation from companies about job adverts. Prospective employees can stop asking this question when job adverts become much more honest.
Many of these questions will make you look arrogant and not easy to work with.
Which, incidentally, is exactly how you're portraying yourself when you assume that the choice is up to you alone and dismiss the right of the potential employee to choose another employer.
While I don't agree with your position. You ARE an interviewer (allegedly :) ), unless there are other interviewers to contradict you or know that is an uncommon position, your post was valuable, and does not deserve to be downvoted.

Or candidate that knows if he can fit or not?
Sounds to me you have no order/process and scared of being exposed by an employee.
