I was playing the role of 'guy who doesn't teach Math' to see if I concurred that one or more of the candidates could explain an idea to the non-expert.
Turns out that on one of those committees, the candidate who stood out beyond all others, was a undergraduate Philosophy major who got a graduate degree in Math to make some money. He's become one of my best friends. He'd far prefer to discuss Moore's (unconvincing) argument than solve a Calculus problem.

As an aside, the English dept at our school came up with a great interview question that gives interesting insights into the candidates. "What famous historical figure (or 3 historical figures) would you invite to dinner and why? What would you serve?

The last time I was on a search committee (for an English professor) I talked them into including a famous scientist in the list. Believe it or not, there was a person with a graduate degree in English who could NOT name a famous scientist. This is an example of the kind of problem with which Bot is concerned.
