Ignoring range restriction is a very common and very consequential statistical fallacy. I'm not going to blindly assume that Google engineers are above statistical fallacies. Especially ones that embody universal human cognitive biases, like thinking that what you see is representative of everything that's out there. There's plenty of evidence that grades matter in other contexts, so I'm not going to throw all of that out because some Google guy made a vaguely general claim based on his limited and very biased sample. As I said, all Google has to do to refute my doubts is point out its huge population of very low GPA, very successful engineers. If GPA is meaningless, this should be a trivial thing for them to do.
