Congratulations on passing your command interview Ray.....
to be fair, it's not entirely a bad idea. A few guys were ill prepared for their upgrade and could not answer some FOM related questions etc. This might have affected the outcome of their course later on. They were asked to go back to the books and then re-interviewed, successfully. Hence the chance of an eventual failure was reduced, which I think is a good thing.
Not something that previous line checks and sim checks would neccessarily pick up.
Fire away.......
