That's true to some extent, but I am quite sure even the worldest-of-class engineers have tripped up on a question or two and went on to get a rejection. If such people truly are talented then they'll have no trouble getting hired elsewhere and the companies in question would be blissfully unaware what they missed out on.

Such companies deserve to fail if so, as the supply of such engineers is limited and allegedly they need such engineers to survive :)
Think Sears vs Amazon-- which company would know what gold was if they fell into a pile of it?
I am not sure the failure of any company has ever hinged on the hiring decisions of a few developers. If you take a look into the downfall of Sears you'll see long-term strategic missteps that aren't related to recruitment in their software engineering teams.
Also I don't think a company deserves to fail if they've got a bit too much faith in a slightly flawed recruitment process. The entire point of us sharing posts like this on here and discussing them is to learn and even help each other, isn't it?
