Nah, man, this is absolutely wrong.
Companies are all over the place all the time. And I have seen this from both sides of the isle.
For example, at one company I was at, we said we were hiring for a full stack position, and we had a candidate come in that did well on all the questions, but then afterwords, we decided that we actually wanted a dedicated front end engineer. So no job for them!
It was no fault of the candidate. We just didn't know what we're were doing and screwed up by interviewing someone who was better suited for a different position.
Stuff like this happens all the time. Even if you blow the interview out of the water, there is still only like a 50/50 chance that you'll get the job, due to no fault of your own.
