> That's your interpretation, and isn't mentioned in the Wikipedia page nor the original memo.

Yes, it's my interpretation. I quoted Wikipedia to show directly (the quote is self-evident) that GP is misrepresenting the very article they're linking to, and I then followed with reinterpreting that quote through the lens of the "pipeline argument". As far as I recall the memo (I read it two years ago), Damore didn't explicitly talked about pipeline, and yes, his suggestions were entirely about what Google should and shouldn't do.




In that case I think it's fair to point out that the OP's interpretation of the memo is valid ("Damore's memo (which I assume is what you're talking about) absolutely did not attribute Google's lack of women candidates to a lack of graduates in the pipeline.") and has to call into question your accusation of misquoting ("You're misreporting the very link you quoted.")

The OP's comment seems closer aligned to what Damore's actual argument was (as opposed to your interpretation).
