I disagree that Treliving was "blinded by determination," and also with the suggestion that he "dismissed outright" other options as if to say they were never part of the evaluation process. I tend to think that Treliving knew enough about all the other available candidates to preclude any further interviews. In other words, why conduct interviews of which you already know the content and outcome, and you already have your ideal candidate in hand?
