>You said distinctly that if I said it wasn't an impact, that I just wouldn't admit that it was. That is calling me a liar. This is not distinct or clear to me; I certainly can't say you are lying when I can't parse this. >I do not consider things that are "correlated" with a previous salary. Ok, I believe you believe this if you say so. It doesn't sound like a lie. I can't understand how you can believe it. >Again, you continue to assume my actions The things I am confident about have nothing to do with your actions. There's a lot of talk about things like "institutional racism" and it seems to me deeply weird that it is such an emotional topic, when it should be a bloodless technical one, given the premises. Namely that because of correlations, outcomes that are not intentional are endemic. The overall sense I have of your comments is that the idea of unintended consequences is offensive. But how do you correct anything without thinking about them?
