> A LOT of people are far worse at interviewing than they think they are.
A LOT of interviews are one-sided bully sessions, so people don't jump through the hoops they are expected to.. especially in hazing-friendly cultures like the security and finance sectors
No disagreement there. The best way to get honest information from people is NOT to really leverage the power balance over them and try to "catch" them in an interview. People also commonly mistake "the stuff I know" for "general intelligence," and so they incorrectly think that their interview questions really tell them very much about a candidate.
