So they prejudged her superficially based on the fact that they thought she judged things before considering them?
Sounds like there was something else going on and that's the story she got.

Im sorry, I re-read that and I explained it in a stupid way. They said that she pre judged things because she put salt on her food before she tasted it, as in, maybe it didnt need salt, but she wouldnt have known that because she put salt on it first.
She is hot too, so who the hell knows. :dunno

I'm still convinced I didn't get a job because I ordered a muffin instead of a scone. They really do over analyze every little thing you do.
ChadTower:
No, it was clear, but the irony in the story is that they did to her what they said she did to the food.
Oftentimes the "reason" a person is not hired has nothing to do with the reason actually given. The interviewers just don't want to tell you because there's no use in a confrontation with someone you aren't going to hire anyway.
Engineering interviews are often easy. You ask 2-3 questions and if you know what you're talking about it's very easy to determine if the other person does. From there it's just a "can I work with this person" or "do I want to work with this competent person or the other competent person".
I do wish there were a quick test for "is this guy a keyboard commando nutbag", though.

You forgot the "Is this person likely to replace me" line of questioning. That'll get you dropped quicker than a hot potato.
