So much emphasis on how senior he is I have trouble getting past the blatant lie in the first paragraph. And then the case he presents to support his first objection is to... not present a case at all. By the time he gets to the digression where he advances a new and peculiar hypothesis about what engineering is all about (and where he seems to redefine empathy to mean something different from what the google memo meant), the negative impression was rather solidified. Edit: Here is the lie: ... the manifesto a Googler ... published internally about .. how women and men are intrinsically different and we should stop trying to make it possible for women to be engineers, it’s just not worth it. (1) to imply that it is not possible for women to become engineers is an absurd claim on the face of it. (2) Even with a less preposterous reading of what Zunger meant by "make it possible for..." the Googler did not assert anything like that in the manifesto.
