Suppose that there's compelling statistical evidence that Google underpays women, but no evidence of any specific intent to do so (which, IIRC, is how these things usually play out). Beyond the immediate legal remedies, how do they they fundamentally fix the processes that led to that outcome? Would they even really know where the leaks are in this machinery that admit such biases? How many other companies have the same fundamental problems that go unexamined because their outcomes happen to not suggest a legal issue (e.g. a bias based on alma mater, favorite movies, shared hobbies, etc.)?
