    People can't be trusted to hire correctly but they can be trusted to do a their job correctly? Say I was interviewing another engineer, you would argue that I can't be trusted to do this task, but you presumably accept I can be trusted to do all other tasks associated with my job. Strange how I lose all ability to reason correctly the moment I walk into the conference room and regain it the moment I leave.

    Hey if I stand in the door way will I be in a superposition state between bigoted and rational or will I be half of both at once or is it more like the Trinity? You know a mystery of the church…watch as the engineer is fully rational and fully irrational the two are separate but of same substrate.

        Noticed you didn't actually answer the question.

            Given that you made specific claims about people in general you can hardly fault me for wanting to know some of the details.

            Exactly what part of the interview process do I become magically irrational and what happens if I linger in that exact location? Sounds pretty straightforward.
