I can program a string reversal with my eyes closed, tied up in chains, upside-down, while holding my breath. Or whatever.

The point is more that for a person with a given skill level, interviews can be stressful and make them perform below that skill level. I try to structure my interviews such that people get more comfortable and I don't ram their head into a metaphorical wall. I get all the same information, but without all those hard feelings.
