Well, I've seem a lot of false positives. The questions asked tend more to the mathematical side, So I've seem smart people but with little programming experience, that didn't knew how to write quality code, pass those interviews.
The problem is that problem solving with fancy algorithm's can even be part of the job, but are normally just a small fraction.
I've never seem dumb people going incredibly well in technical interviews, that's true, but I've seem a lot of bad programmers giving great answers to those abstract problems. And sometimes, they're knowledge wasn't actually a fit.
