I see QA broken out as an occupation type in several graphs, including 11.6% of women. Overall, however, it's apparently lumped into Other, which would put it at less than the 0.1% who are BI or data warehousing experts, or machine learning developers. Really? No XY QA on SO?

Pretty sure the math doesn't add up, though:

* 5.8% of the 56,033 respondents were women

* 49,525 overall specified an occupation type, so let's assume 88% of the women did as well

* 11.6% of the women specified QA

* .1% overall specified machine learning

That's 56033 * .058 * .116 * .88 ~ 331 women QA alone, compared to 49525 * .001 ~ 49 machine learning developers.
