When making a decision that would presumably cause distress to someone, it is common practice in society not to disclose the reasons for the decision.

This is stupid. As I said in my Treatise on the Objective Reality of Ideas, “Those who prefer ignorance to knowledge are fools. It can never be otherwise.” That includes when the knowledge may hurt one’s feelings.

Because I cannot obtain feedback regarding my Google interviews, I can only continue to assume that a single bad interview cost me the job. From an objective standpoint (how many problems I solved within the allotted time), that’s the only conclusion that makes sense.

And if this isn’t true, then it’s a very bad conclusion to allow someone to think they’ve reached regarding the company. Such things breed discontent.
