I remember when this was first posted to HN the top comment was about a serious flaw in this hypothesis. Need to find the comment thread again...

e.g. the other explanation could be that women applicants are just better than men, and that they aren't discriminated against.

I wonder if the genders in the study were reversed, how many would claim the same hypothesis?
