> ... recognizing that there exists inequality doesn't cast value judgement on that inequality.

You just asserted your attribution of cause right there: inequality. There are multiple possible causes for differing demographic representations in various roles. This is not a settled issue, even though people on both sides promote competing ideologies to the effect that it is.

(And again, I have intentionally left my own views on the subject out of this, even though I suspect they align with yours (insofar as cause attribution goes): I'm just pointing out the fact that this isn't something society agrees on, nor is it something the scientific data resolves unambiguously.)

> Personally I think you're a bad person if, armed with the tools to detect and correct, you decide its okay to build something that has a systemic error that wrongly disfavors some group.

Agreed, hinging on that point about cause attribution.
