This always struck me as absurdly cautious behavior relative to the exposure. By this logic we basically shouldn’t do or say anything ever because it could get us sued.

It’s just some kind of wisdom passed down arbitrarily. If you have a remotely ethical candidate criteria feedback should be simple, and the goodwill you could get for doing it seems like it could far outpace the legal exposure issue.
