You are basically filtering for presentation ability.
...unless you are looking to hire someone in sales or someone to represent you. :) But I agree with you.
For something like software development, I think the presentation process can be improved by talking to the candidate as part of the presentation, not just letting them starve in front of an audience. Let's not rule out the presentation mechanism; you can learn about the candidate's ability to give presentations and handle pressure.

Also the candidate would be evaluated on the content of the presentation - not his presentation skills per se.
