Very interesting! I assume this is posted because it parallels how YC does their interview admissions. I think the YC method has some differences to this problem. YC has already seen the applications for groups, and probably already developed some kind of best to worse ranking of the applicants. The interview most likely functions as a confirmation that the teams live up to their great application. Additionally, YC expands its class to fit the number of qualified applicants. In this problem there is single spot to fill.
Edit: It is also totally possible many people upvoted this article only because it is interesting. If that is true ignore my post.
