to be fair your opinion is less scientifically rigorous than the actual scientific papers he cited which was his formulation of data less than opinion. You can disagree with him & those papers but I do think a blanket dismissal of him as a person is difficult to infer from a single inter-office memo

I’m indifferent to concerns about rigor in my comments. Also I’m on a phone and half interested, passing the time on a bus.

Many people who assert things about James Damore's memo are engaging in the same dishonest anti-science tactics which Climate Deniers and Evolution Deniers engage in. Science is not a democracy. People also don't get to impute James Damore's motives just because they feel strongly about it.

Look up the citations, then decide for yourself who is pushing an ideological agenda.
