Typically yes.

But if a company did leetcode questions without the interviewer in the room, I find it exceedingly unlikely that people would shout "Interviewing has been saved! It now tests skill rather than anxiety!" As such, the conclusions of this paper don't seem especially relevant to the discussion about interviewing processes.

Well, it seems like either you don't understand the concept of incremental improvement, or you're being deliberately obtuse. Taking a good portion of the anxiety out of the situation can only help, right? I don't think anybody is pointing at this paper and saying "if we do this one thing, then interviewing is fixed," except people who are looking for a straw man, do you?
