My best guess is the interviewer didn't know shit and could only use "facebook," "google," "stanford" as indicators that someone who did know shit considered the interviewee worthwhile.
probably. Most pre-interview programs are heavily biased for those keywords too. So, when her resume when viral, she got a interview through the front end PR campaign called "this resume went viral, do something about it". Then, the interview was exactly the same as the software screening, but with doublespeak.
