She's apparently never heard of sampling bias either. 5% of the company, self-selected? "Exposing company-wide inequity" is a dramatic leap. I was at Google at the time the sheet spread and I treated it as more of a curiosity than anything else (though I do think it was a cool idea).
- mrgriscom 11y agoEh, I'm sympathetic to the argument, when you literally have nothing else to go on. Uniform sampling is often a dream in sociology.
- wutbrodo 11y agoOh I agree. As I said, I found it rather cool. But perhaps when you have literally nothing else to go on, that's a signal that you shouldn't be using phrases as dramatic as "company-wide inequity".
