I don't know. A cold code review on a codebase they never saw is not super informative about how the candidate would interact with you and the code once they're in known territory.

What do you think happens in the first few weeks of someone joining a new team? Probably reading a lot of code they never saw...

So yeah, I think it's the opposite: explicitly testing for their ability to read code is probably kinda important.
