By the same logic you might say that we shouldn't interview at all because it selects for people that are good at being interviewed. Obviously this is true but I think it would be pretty crazy to not interview people.

Frankly I think most people suck at being interviewed initially, but you can definitely improve with practice. The same as public speaking and interviewing candidates.

Some people are even good on a take-home test, good at chatting in an interview, good at coding at their desk, but completely unable to code in an interview. And you can fail an interview at some places if you are one of them.
