Ah, argument by false analogy. Always a good way to avoid an constructive discussion, as any inconvenient counter-argument can be dropped into the gap between the analogy and its referent at the author's sole discretion. Not going to spend more than a few minutes playing that game.

The problem is that Damore did far more than our elevator operator. He didn't stop at claiming there were innate differences. He assumed that they could justify representational differences a full degree of magnitude greater than those innate differences could possibly account for. He whined about being silenced, in a memo seen by most of the company. He poisoned the well many times, accusing anyone who might (even hypothetically) disagree with him of "generally rejecting science" and "virtue signaling" and being like Communist dictators. He rejected current approaches because their effectiveness isn't absolutely 100% proven, then proposed alternatives that are even less proven (and indeed sometimes proven not to work). It was a veritable parade of (pseudo-)intellectual dishonesty, which the OP continues from its derogatory title to its cowardly coda.

A company that fires people for dishonesty isn't dying. It's smart.
