I don't interview well.
I wrote a program from scratch, tweaked it throughout my PhD, used it to get results for my thesis. I am quite confident in the robustness and accuracy of the program.
I couldn't explain my code to an interviewer (partially because it wasn't production-ready code, but mostly because I don't interview well). I'm glad I didn't get the job. Moved on to work with people who know I'm not a hand waver.

There are also people who struggle to answer, because reality is more complex than what they can easily convey to someone who doesn't already know the domain. There are pros and cons to both groups.
