You would think that someone posting prescreen questions in anger would at least bother to edit the transcript so that they gave the right answers.

An inode is not an identifier. This super-awesome-knowitall has not bothered googling "define inode" before posting this.

If this really is the transcript then not only did you answer questions wrong, you also argued with the recruiter.

I have worked with people who used to be the best where they came from, who are not used to being wrong. This guy did not handle it well.

If this really is a true transcript, with internal monologue, then Google has avoided accidentally hiring someone arrogant who can't accept being wrong, or is at least not open to being wrong.

The reaction -- posting prescreen questions in anger in retaliation -- only reaffirms that Google did the right thing.
