I think the DGI numbers will be very disappointing, unless it changes to the SSP rules.
Sometimes interviewers like to catch you in an uncomfortable situation to see how you react. In the case of people feeling worse, it's perhaps that they didn't give the impression that they were in the presence of an aviation God and community saint. Perhaps they showed some weakness and under pressure gave the interviewers a glimpse of their personalities and not a canned version taught in interview prep courses.
