It is entirely possible for there to be a pipeline problem, and also for behavior like the one described in the post to bias recruiting. Two things can be true.

- tptacek 6y agoOk. Sure. And?
- TedDoesntTalk 6y agoHis point is that behavior can be a distraction from the other problem.
- habitue 6y agoThe post ends with: > Pipeline problem, my ass. after spending exactly no words refuting pipeline issues. I'm left to conclude that the author feels the two explanations are mutually exclusive and that by giving an anecdote about one, you can determine the other isn't real.
- stale2002 6y agoThe issue is that people tend to use "pipeline problem" to ignore and excuse real issues with bias. So it is not about rejecting the existence of a pipeline problem, it is instead to reject this as an excuse to ignore other real problems. That is likely what the author was trying to say.
