Empathy and kindness is the top, fundamental value I hold professionally, but I am struggling to understand why you would re-assess after a single incident. If a large fraction of candidates showed signs of extreme stress, sure. One candidate, though, isn't enough to determine anything meaningful, in my opinion. As Mack "Bumpy" Freeholder famously said "one thrown laptop is on them, but two thrown laptops is on me!"

Haha, fair enough. And I'm not sure if that's a real quote, but I want to believe.

Sorry, misquoted. "Throw one laptop shame on you. Throw two laptops shame on me."
