Right. Because in the first case we're talking about a systemic problem applying to a global company of 12,000 possibly spanning all levels of management as well as its polices and mandates. In the second case we're talking about a person's singular experience - which I've never disputed. The former is a much stronger statement than the latter so you cannot use the latter to prove the former.

Were you really not aware of Uber's work culture issues?

Uber's problems with work culture and hostility to women has been an open secret for years. I remember hearing rumors about it since 2014 at least.

None of the recent allegations are surprising to anybody at all who has been aware of what it is like to work there.
