This is why articles like his get to the front page. You may be more correct because you aren't making any claims, but I'd rather listen to an idea that's actionable. Especially one that is more likely to cause me to err on the side of not hiring a good candidate than it is to cause me to err on the side of hiring a bad candidate.
If this article's correct, and I suspect it is, it's important for CTOs to read it, because this is the sort of thing that's better to not become official policy. If there's a team that has 75% A players, they should let the non-A players be involved in the interview process to keep the ship running smooth, but sneakily disregard their input.
