...which is true and even google admits they do so to increase female count?

  I'm pretty sure Google does not in fact "admit they do [anything] to increase female count".

  The claim made is that they "decreased the false negative rate". Google has long prided itself on rejecting large numbers of qualified candidates. Since decreasing the false-negative rate inherently means "hire a greater quantity of qualified candidates", I fail to see how the bar was lowered.
