My role isn't to assess if you're competent or not. My role is to assess if I want you on my team or not. There's a difference.

And yes, if I ask you a technical question and you freeze, I don't want you on my team. It doesn't mean you're a bad engineer. It means you're not a good fit.

Pretty much sums up how the hiring process is a gamble. So if you don't like somebody and they could be an asset to the company you would not hire them?
