I don't think Justin won only because of the interview but I do think
it had a lot to do.Personally, I think that dedicating some time to
answer these questions (it doesn't take that much anyway, I know
because I did it for FAmSCo) shows interest and commitment.My 2 cents.

You misunderstood me, I never said that they were not important. I
meant that you can't and shouldn't say that Justin won only and only
because nobody else did their interview. That statement would be
wrong on multiple levels.
