There are two kinds of hard though - there's the hard that's hard just because it's boring repetitive work and there's the hard that's hard because it's complex and beautiful and requires an investment in thought and background that not everyone has.

And if you're eliminating the former kind of hard without increasing the latter, then your interviews should get easier. Heck, for people in the latter group it will get easier even if you decrease the former and increase the latter, to a point.

Just because you're not lowering standards doesn't mean your interviews aren't getting easier.

Which is also a thing with exams now I think about it - just because your exam's hard doesn't mean it's worthwhile.
