Yeah this is the common excuse for torturous technical interviews but it just doesn't fly with me. What is the end game of the interviewer who is lying? They'll get found out when asked to deliver and lose their job eventually. This is not without cost to the employer, but it gets harder to explain so much turnover in your resume as you accumulate early exits.
In addition, there are levels of technical chats that become very difficult to fake, further reducing the pool of lying interviewees people claim to be defending against.
