Agreed! Some are better than others.

Oh, I never defined "good" that way. Keyword being "mitigate" (you replaced it with "eliminate"). Apologies for your confusion.
- dragonwriter 3y agoYou used the word “mitigate” but in the same post also expressed surprise that any bias effect was left at all, which indicated you expected elimination of the effect from a “good hiring process" rather than mere mitigation.
- cantSpellSober 3y agoNo, I used the word "mitigate" to indicate I expected mitigation... > expressed surprise that any bias effect was left at all Nope, if you scroll up you'll see that "somewhat" word there (you replaced it with "at all").
- dragonwriter 3y agoYou responded to a post saying that the effect exists (neither characterizing magnitude nor what the base rate would be without mitigation) and said you were surprised that was the case. If you only expect mitigation, there would be no basis for surprise, of any degree, at the mere fact of the effect existing.
- cantSpellSober 3y ago> there would be no basis for surprise, of any degree That's what the "somewhat" is for. Apologies again for your confusion.
- dragonwriter 3y agoIf it was mitigated somewhat, the effect would still exist. The issue is the expression of surprise with the mere statement that the effect exists. I’m not confused, you said two things that don't make sense together in one post, each of which is perfectly clear.
- cantSpellSober 3y ago> If it was mitigated somewhat, the effect would still exist Agreed! I'm glad you now understand. I'm surprised it wasn't somewhat mitigated (first post).
- dragonwriter 3y ago> I'm surprised it wasn't somewhat mitigated How do you judge that it wasn't, as there is no information as to what the base rate would be if it wasn’t “sonewhat mitigated” by hiring processes.
- cantSpellSober 3y agoApologies, but it's already been exhausting enough reducing all your confusion. The study answers your question if you read it.
