I do agree with you about people's attitude to how they did in technical tests. But I also think all interviewers having a veto is the wrong approach. However, I don't think companies really have time or inclination to do it any other way.

I think I do well on both technical tests and the conversational side. I'm basing that on ratio of offers.

It's based on people assuming that others will use that veto reasonably. Company i work for had a veto system but i don't think it was ever used. It was also essentially 3 level system "hire", "probably not" and "i object to this person ever working at this company"

I've heard the latter being expressed a few times but only with candidates that nobody was keen on.
