Near the end of the post, the author considers what happens when the means of the two distributions are different. "They don't seem to be the dominant factor" because in order to fully generate the observed ratio of male/female employment at Google using only the "general techiness factor", one needs to hypothesise implausibly large differences in the underlying distributions of techiness.

Except it's only implausible if you assume the conclusion. The implausibility is literally summoned from the aether, because it's certainly not based on any empirical facts.
