Ironically, when interviewers talk about how they interview, they pretty much all seem to believe they are very good in evaluating candidates. But when candidates talk about job interviews, they all seem to agree interviews are done badly.

A rule I have is that everyone is good in something and bad in something else. So, if by the end of the interview I haven't found a topic where the candidate excels and a topic where sucks, the interview hasn't been effective.

If you've found what they're good at, and it matches what your needs are, does the information on what they suck at help you decide between multiple candidates?
