But are statistical conclusions really necessary? Or the only conclusions that matter?
I look at it from a market perspective: she had to compete with a lot of people for that position. If an MBA was a disadvantage, would she win that position?
Of course, there are many factors for why she got her position. But I doubt that she strictly speaking knows which of them contributed and which of them didn't.

They are in the sense that without any further information, let's make other claims: - Would she really be the COO of Facebook if she wasn't a woman? - Would she really be the COO of Facebook if she wasn't an Harvard alumna? - Would she really be the COO of Facebook if she wasn't Jewish? . . . > there are many factors for why she got her position. But > I doubt that she strictly speaking knows which of them > contributed Precisely; nor do we. There seems little point speculating. (However something statistical like 'x% tech COOs have an MBA' would be more interesting).
