It is, but I have yet to see someone do this well.  There's a temptation to
hand over pieces of paper and wait for me to ask questions, and that just
doesn't impress me.  I'm willing to believe there are folks who can do this
well, but I haven't seen them yet (and I've interviewed plenty of folks).
