The poster responded to someone who publicly offers interview advice. That affects probabilities in the poster's favor, I imagine. https://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~kelu/interviews/

More importantly, conditions like "unless you were being an ass to that interviewer" make it an entirely sensible comment, in my view. I remember strongly disliking how fellow interviewers had zero empathy. They generally have more power in that situation, and therefore more responsibility for reasonable outcomes.
