Evidently, the interviewee didn't meet just any Googler, he met the outlier, the only one unhappy there!

Humans don't work like that. That single data point and the experience he had allows quite some generalization.

Maybe this isn't how you build a ML model, but that ML model won't work very well when interacting with other people.

I guess I'd have to say that single data point only really allows for the generalization that some people are unhappy at Google. I think it's probably quite a few but that's just my suspicion, the single data point isn't enough to go on.

Unhappy enough to reveal it at an inappropriate time: during an interview.
