You assume that "the lower average" group will apply as much (i.e. lower ability people will apply too) as the "higher average" group.

I could now point "confused or insincere" right back at you ...

But at least this whole debate is wonderful example why you should not assume bad faith in others.

Hm, you are saying one will get equal average skill/interest rates above the cut, if one includes that good people are more likely to apply?

That sounds like an interesting argument. I don't think Damore made it, but if you will flesh it out a bit more, I'd be very interested in reading it.

Well Damore tried to make a lot arguments, I think his (main) fault wasn't in omitting some important ones.

And thanks, I'm thinking about making blog a lot, but I have no time.
