Google is famous for tough interviews and accepting a small fraction of applicants. I was impressed with everyone I met, and Pike's "incapable" statement was baseless and insulting.

"incapable" != "never capable", especially when talking about fresh college graduates.

"Unwilling", "have no time", "can't be bothered" are all better than "incapable".
