I mean with reference to a sophistry technique to shut down discussion. Were the individual example to be computer scientists instead of surgeons, then the definition of a successful computer scientist can be redefined to a suitable outcome as proof that racial discrimination does not harm consumers of surgeons or computer scientists. Its avoiding the core discussion via wordplay. Furthermore if no individual example were provided then the sophistry method would be to complain there is no specific example of an individual being harmed therefore there is no harm and racial discrimination is an inherently good process.
