If the interviewer was gauging your political skills/ adaptability, it doesn't look like you fared too well indeed.

That seems like an excuse for poor behavior moreso than a deeper level of testing (testing when you know you're right but someone with more authority tells you otherwise). While possible, I'd have to think it's unlikely.

Do you test new grads for their political skills? I don't.
