Haha no, then I'd have to wear a stupid cap and not speak to you.
I find it quite funny that in the UK, at least, black and white tie dress codes are basically defined by what Oxbridge students wear to balls. According to certain etiquette codes anyway.

This really depends where you are, and what you mean by "formal". For me, formal dress for men involves bow ties, never mind ties. Ties are required at the twice-weekly formal dinners and a fair few people wear them to lectures in my faculty (but they are aspiring lawyers so that may not be a representative sample). I can't even imagine anyone turning up to a job interview not wearing a tie.

Wear a tie to a welding-job interview and you'll be laughed out of the building. :-D

I thought they wore robes. Unless I'm thinking of Hogwarts.

Fixed that for you. :) I have never worn a tie to a job interview.

Even the girls? I've always thought that ties were perhaps the only item of clothing where men's conventional wardrobe was stupider than women's

Really, job interview attire has a lot to do with finding the culture of the company and what the job you are applying for IS.
Even in "white collar" there are job interviews where a suit/tie would be overdoing it. (I work in internet marketing for a program that is marketed primarily to people in their teens/early twenties. I wore a blue dress shirt and khaki slacks when I interviewed. Dressing suit and tie would have been overkill)
