Is it normal for an interviewer not to clarify that "actually, I was wrong" on these sorts of self-confidence tests?

Personally at the end of the interview (as the interviewer) I would refer back to any of those sorts of questions and say.. "actually I was trying to catch you out, you did good there", or some such.

This not only stops them doubting themselves, but also clears the air if I was to come back to them and offer them the job. Who knows, maybe the interviewee ran off to SO and categorically proved me wrong.
