It's pretty much garbage, with a self proclaimed truism not supported by data, like interviewing in generall.
I can't tell the elite 5% programmers from the 70%+ percentile programmers, or what ever numbers I make up, during the interview process anyway. It's maybe possible to spot rock buttom programmers from the best, but telling a mediocre programmer (50th percentile) from a really bad is probably really hard.
Interviewing resembles dating. Spam untill you suceed if you cant be picky.
