You're responding to a comment claiming that technical questions are not as important by saying you passed all the technical questions. I was on the fence about OPs theory, but this comment does not help your case. You didn't really process the feedback, even if you don't agree with it. They might look for that.

Yup. Not to point towards OP's case specifically, but it's a usual trap a lot of exact science majors (and many PhDs) fall into. I'm not saying it's limited to exact sciences BTW — personality is also a factor. There's a joke here that we should stop our startup and start a business coaching PhDs navigating the job market. There's money there I tell ya :)

Let's be fair, one general sentence is not enough feedback you can process. He probably is here to also get the real juicy feedback.
