Statements like this make me distinctly angry because I do everything I can to remove myself from the interview, of sorts.
If they come up with, or start walking with an interesting solution, I listen to them.
Tabs and spaces don't matter.
I actively work against the biases of "whether I like the person or not" because I'm aware of that as a factor.
We can absolutely minimize all of those peripherals when we explicitly train against it and a good programming interview doesn't have to be about that.

And I don’t know anyone who likes to hire people (or anyone who wants to be hired) following a double blind process. So at least there is _some_ non-technical bias that gets in the process.
