Had I downvoted (I didn't) it would have been because I didn't see any shock in her article, real or feigned. It was clear that the effect she found was the one she was looking for.
I think it was really this statement which made me crinkle my nose.
"As a woman in tech who has been called all of these things before, there is some validation in confirming with data that the pattern is real. But as a leader in tech, I’m aghast at how closely under our noses we let this live."
Her past research would seem to suggest that this finding was all but assured. But to be fair, that could just be my reading if it. I have a lot of respect for Kieran's work, so that also has something to do with it.
