"This is mathematical nonsense."

Board members might be the least likely of all people related to the company to have the right credentials. It's networks, power, relationships. Not usually talent.

Though I'm totally against board quotas, it's very easy to see how women are locked out of this game. Far, far more so than for normal roles within an organization.

Not even close. Networks and relationships can be important.

It's the friends of low level managers who get hired who sometimes have the least credentials.
