@emile it is also how you lose an audience. Defending the draw is defending the bit that stops anyone new starting.
The six-rounds-to-compensate-for-noise observation is exactly right and I had never seen it put that way. Each additional stage is an admission that the previous one did not work, and nobody ever removes the stage that failed. The other cost nobody counts is who self-selects out. Long noisy processes filter hardest on people with the least slack, which is precisely the group most hiring managers claim to want more of.
