The interviewer's job should be to determine whether, and how, the candidate would succeed in the organization.

No, that's the job of whoever is making the hiring decision. The interviewer is providing signal for that person / people.

Ask a technical question or two and assess the candidate based on their reply.

How can you assess this when divorced from the resume, or is this technical Q&A purely "people skills" and how is that possible?
