You have constructed and debating a strawman.

Everything involving human judgement will be subjective, yet we still can distinguish between good and bad decisions and discuss tradeoffs about being less wrong while being subjective

I don't think it's a straw man. No one has actually solved hiring, "best" isn't defined.

Like people are freaking out about any sort of DEI factor even getting considered and then actually hiring based on how Phil vibes with the candidate. Good stuff.
