What.
Seriously, that's a stupid reason to not get hired no matter what industry it is.

I doubt that's the reason why he wasn't considered. Employers are under no obligation to give you a reason why you were passed over for a job.
My recommendation is that you have a professional go over your resume, and also take at least one mock interview for practice. Of course that will only go so far as to tune your mind to your speaking habits and body language, it won't help you when it comes to your actual knowlege of the subject.
It was suggested that you know the company you're interviewing for, and although that's very good advice, you should also know what sort of job this is. That's more important.
I'm not saying that you don't know your field, but it sounds like from your first post that you're not very focused on what you want to do in your field so your knowlege about the specifics they may be looking for could be too thin on the ground for their needs. If you got any friends in the field, ask them what their employers/team looks for in terms of specifics.

This is exactly why I hate job interviews. I wish there was some other alternative. It's enough trouble as it is to assemble a nice cover letter with a nice resume, while having fingers crossed hoping one will get the job. Then when the time finally arrives, a fuck-up or two throws it all out the window. Then, it's back to the gas station for another few months.

Depends entirely on who's hiring you. If it's HR or a group of people who don't know the subject, than that is very much true. In my office, people from the department in question do the hiring, so they don't really care about stuttering problems as they care about technical competence.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
