Do you realize you dodged a bullet at that moment? That was a classic case of "smartest-guy-in-the-room" syndrome: from your description, he wasn't there to interview you, he was there to show off and stroke his own ego. Be glad you didn't get that job, because that would have been the future of your days at work -- constantly listening to Mr. Smartypants compensate for his own sense of inadequacy, where every different opinion is treated as a personal insult or a challenge. No thanks. That personality type is infectious (not in a good way) and it damages an organization.
