By that logic how is anyone supposed to criticize any hiring process? Of course hinting that the process is flawed will imply that some of his colleagues shouldn't have made it through.
However, if the number of hires is kept constant, and a given process is claimed to be flawed, then you are implicitly stating that one or more offers should have gone to what was a non-hire instead of what was a hire.
