Interviews are definitely two way.

That's why instead of complaining that companies don't interview the way you prefer them to ("interviewers refuse to listen"), you should just let them be the "incompetent" teams that you believe them to be, so that you can tell whether they're "incompetent" and decide to take an offer from a company that does things the way you like.

Then everyone is happy!

This is a misconstrual. The point was that interviewers refuse to listen to scientific studies that show interviews test for anxiety rather than skills.

Not when the whole industry cargo cults on audition-style interview tests.
