No, this is feeding into that "meritocracy" myth again. You're assuming that everyone is perfectly rational, and only looks at code, when in reality this is far from the case. In reality, the interviewer looks at you as a person, and has their own biases.
Some people are perfectly capable of doing the work, and are passed up for completely irrational reasons. Empathy, try it, please.
