It kind of sounds like you said:
"I don't think it's a snap judgement. Interviewing is [making snap judgements]. Any good interviewer knows there is high variance, however you still need to make [a snap judgement]."
"I don't think it's a snap judgement. Interviewing is [making snap judgements]. Any good interviewer knows there is high variance, however you still need to make [a snap judgement]."
"These kinds of snap judgements I find very problematic. As if anyone... can make that kind of an assessment from a (highly contrived and stressful) 45-minute or so interaction with someone."
"snap judgement" in my reading, implies a rashness, lack of carelessness, or impulsiveness, (or arrogance, which is implied by OP)
My counter is that although it is not a lot of evidence, it is generally a very deliberate act.
Is not "lacking in evidence, yet deliberate" the very definition of... rash and impulsive?
BTW I wouldn't say these people are arrogant (for making these kinds of judgements), per se.
But it does seem that they're biting off more than they can realistically chew.
