A company has to hire someone. So they're forced to take the risk.

They don't have to provide feedback, so they don't have to take the risk if they don't want to.

Don't really think your comparison was fair.

But hopefully they interview more people than they hire.

What's your point? That increases the risk through increased exposure.

Yes, I think I misread the person I was replying to in retrospect, and agree.

which makes it even worse - if you interview 20 people, and 1 in 20 is a media rampager - every time you provide feedback on a hiring cycle you will have a rampage.
