Generally, a technical interview is meant for you to beat their best technical person in the team, either for the knowledge of cleverness, so everyone adore you in order to pass the interview.
Yet it is well known that most technically talented people have a common OCD, especially of those with strong ego, is to compete to be who the smartest is, which is not a bad thing, but some went extreme and they do it at all cost. Evidently as often observed, in office the loudest person is perceived the smartest be the mass. Can google avoid that?
In a few hours interview, psychological problems like these are difficult to detect and rule out. If google is serious about their claim that they don't care about expertise but .... They should send candidates to psychiatrist and filter first.
Personally I think this NY times google HR is BS marketing. There is better way to recruit top talent, and this is not it.
