Well, well, social engineers with something to hide are so transparent. As Villeval states „Balafoutas and Sutter find that, with very few exceptions, the most able men are not overtaken by less able women.“, which immediately leads one to ask what about the less able ones? Supplementary figure one tells us: Low and averagely abled women are strongly advanced, low abled men are unaffected and averagely abled ones very strongly decreased. Now undoubtedly the top performers are important, but the great majority and thus of the highest influence on total productivity are in lower middle management.
