Hiring is hard even in places where everything is quantified, such as baseball! Only a few teams have consistent success signing good value contracts even with all the statistics available.

Baseball is a bit different because there is only one winning team. Those people can still all bat (or whatever) much much better than the average qualified electrician can wire. But the point is that the average qualified electrician can wire. Whereas with the average programming interview candidate it seems to be a bit of a lottery.
