It's not a choice: demographics is always an input of the recruitment process. I agree the phrasing is unfortunate, it says "it's a variable under Google control" as Google had a target value on it, and then it says it is "an input rather than an output", which is quite a contradiction. I'd paraphrase it as: male/female output ratio is a function of male/female input ratio, and of Google hiring policies. If there were actual discrimination, the quality of (low-end, as per the article argument) male hirings is bound to be (better/worse) than the quality of low-end female hirings. Please someone correct me if I'm missing the point.
