Indeed. Or give a talk, or write a design doc, or...so many better options, all of which could be balanced out across a day of interviews.
Think how much you might actually learn about a candidate if your interview process replaced a day of solid whiteboarding with a code review, some pair programming, a session of documenting someone else's code, behavioral interviews, etc. It's almost as if you'd be treating them like a...person!
