This really is true. During an interview I gave in college, I was rejected because of 'culture fit', because I tried to explain my solution to the interviewer but he wasn't bothered to understand it. My friend (who later got hired) told me that he said that while I was technically capable, I had 'an attitude problem'. Not saying I wasn't at fault, but it does matter because interviewers are human too, and like working with people they enjoy spending time with.
