  "the 'rigor' that people bring to engineering decisions is oversold." Possibly, I don't see google going down, so the engineering is sound. That's missing the real issue though. Google, the people who lead and work there fundamentally do not grok people or psychology. This will is problematic as they attempt to diversify their workforce. I'm sure this is a known-known at google, hence the training that @eru is receiving. This is why the @tptacek article is such a good read. A tech-company attempting to understand more about hiring humans who understand machines.
