"If they get defensive, it’s an immediate no-go. Remember, there’s a difference between defending which is good and being defensive which is bad. The difference is that the former is based on rational facts, the other is based on emotion."
And whose call is it to make that distinction? Presumably the author of the optimal-hiring-procedure #122327 that has been posted here.
