Sure, just curious. Interviewing well is hard, on both sides of the process.

At the end of the day you have to make a decision and if someone doesn't make it easy for you to hire them, then they don't get the job mostly.

I have been overridden a couple of times and candidates were hired that I thought were poor. In both cases I was right about their weaknesses, but in one case they had strengths I did not acknowledge and they were excellent. The other one was a disaster!
