If it wasn't a compilation error it would have been something else to cover up an unconscious bias or a 'gut feeling'. Basically seeking out the evidence, no matter how weak it is, to fit the 'crime'.
I wouldn't believe anyone who said they've never been there. For all the times you're told to trust your gut, there are plenty more times where your gut is just plain wrong and you have to go against it.

We all make them, and some of the best developers I have worked with are the type to get nervous in interviews, so they become more likely to make them and have a hard time finding them. The "best" interviewee is not always the best developer.
