  It kind of sounds like you said: "I don't think it's a snap judgement. Interviewing is [making snap judgements]. Any good interviewer knows there is high variance, however you still need to make [a snap judgement]."

    Apologies, to clarify: "These kinds of snap judgements I find very problematic. As if anyone... can make that kind of an assessment from a (highly contrived and stressful) 45-minute or so interaction with someone." "snap judgement" in my reading, implies a rashness, lack of carelessness, or impulsiveness, (or arrogance, which is implied by OP) My counter is that although it is not a lot of evidence, it is generally a very deliberate act.

      My counter is that although it is not a lot of evidence, it is generally a very deliberate act. Is not "lacking in evidence, yet deliberate" the very definition of... rash and impulsive? BTW I wouldn't say these people are arrogant (for making these kinds of judgements), per se. But it does seem that they're biting off more than they can realistically chew.
