> announcing the appointment of Jack Smith or Marilyn Clark
If they wanted fair comparison they’d choose both name equally strong and with the same surname, eg Jane Smith for woman or Oliver Clark for man. Or better choose many different names to make sure name itself is not a factor. Especially if one of the name looks like not a real name but as a placeholder.
This and couple other signs show this is not a proper study and should be ignored.
