>Damore cited two studies, three Wikipedia pages, and an article from Quillette, a contrarian online magazine that often covers free speech on campus and alleged links between genetics and IQ.

Quote from the recent WIRED article on Google culture, easily verifiable but I'm too lazy right now. But that's hardly 'most of the memo was citations of studies'.

An intentionally misleading quote. The memo has over 30 references, looks like about half of which are either to a research paper or reporting about some research.

Even the Wikipedia links are either to a general definition, or a well-referenced section that cites research papers, not to baseless claims.
