Not having an answer. There is one! Do not appear as if you don't know the company, the role, or your own background. The interviewer wants to hear positive information about why you are a good fit. In general, when we speak of what to "stay away from," we mean to continually focus on positive information that will encourage the interviewer to understand you really are the perfect fit!
