The authors seems confused, comparing two unrelated activities merely because we refer to them by the same name.

I agree. They overlooked the fact that the people designing then were mostly men, even if many women operated the machine and configured the software to run. This creates a false narrative.

But false narratives are what we're up against today. That's why I thought it was appropriate to post this on HN.
