I read enough to know what the author was asserting (that finding candidates is harder than filtering candidates), and I stopped when I realized her supporting claims were ignorant. But people do this all the time. When people argue in person, they spend most of their time not listening to the other side, but trying to formulate a reason the other side is wrong. It's not the right thing to do, and I know that, and it's why I put "I'm really sorry" at the start.
