> Live interviews are generally excellent at revealing how individuals perform when placed outside their comfort zone.

I suppose if by "outside their comfort zone," you mean in a potentially literal life or death situation (because, face it, most people can't live long without a job in the US), under an arbitrary and very short deadline, possibly using unfamiliar tools, and simultaneously having to explain every little thing they do, then yes, I would agree with this. I don't believe the sentence after this follows logically from it, though.
