What's the most human narrative you're welling to place on Damore, that he might agree with? I'll try to think up a few...
1) Damore may have felt just as uncomfortable as his coworkers with what was being said, just in the opposite direction.
2) Damore, being a little spectrumy, attempted to derive an answer to a question about gender inequality in a cold and rational way, having no understanding that what he wrote would upset people. That's not the same as suggesting what he wrote is "correct." Correctness is irrelevant. As a person also on the spectrum, I can relate to this happening all.the.time. It's very difficult to understand what will upset people if you don't already have a mental rule about it. And rules are narrow.
