"Did Bush do 9/11? Can jetfuel really melt steel beams? Are other races and genders worse at computer science than me because they are genetically inferior? I'm just asking questions!" said the online poster.
Just because they measured the data, does not imply they were trying to explain it. To explain a result would need a very different experimental setup. Every scientist knows this. It's not a conspiracy if a scientist declines to throw darts at a wall on the cause of something. In fact, they specifically say the cause is likely not explainable by the test differences, which were too small.
"The within-country gender gaps in skills are small enough, however, that they may explain little about gender gaps in CS graduates’ labor market outcomes".
In fact, the poster is not "just asking questions". They have a clear opinion, and ignored the researcher's own statements to the contrary.
