A lot of people have a strange sort of amnesia where they forget anything that doesn't support their preconceptions. I've had conversations that go like this:

"Our interview process is perfect! We've never had a bad hire."

"What about that guy we hired to rewrite our engine? The ex-googler? We had to fire him after a month."

"Oh, yeah. I forgot about him."
