Excellent work and a fascinating result. Seems to me that both kinds of questions are fair game for any entrepreneur. Maybe if men were asked more "prevention" questions we'd get fewer big flameouts (Color Labs [0] comes to mind).

(Though I wonder about their use of the term "Turing test" -- do they mean "A/B test"?)

The original Turing test had the interlocutors guessing whether the subject was a man or a woman, I think it's an oblique reference to that to suggest disguising the entrepreneur's gender would make things fairer.
