I did It's quite awful - I'll pick out a few egregious errors >But conditional on being in the 1% of math, the girls have better verbal skills Says nothing about the ratio of girls and boys in the top 1% - just that the girls there still have typical patterns of higher verbalpic.twitter.com/uGTNMLtm2x

1st no, intelligence doesn't reflect study. Knowledge or skills but not intelligence 2nd - also wrong - pick the boys who had top verbal scores and they vastly outscore the girls on math. Look at it that way - boys become more "balanced" - pure cherry-picking presentationpic.twitter.com/zVSoNhRUJq

Doesn't show that. Biggest effect over that time period is discouraging boys as much as possible in school
Has the goal been "nurture as many top performers as possible"?
The goal's been "close the gap" and if you can't bring up girls, you can still discourage boyspic.twitter.com/TJQOHS6jKH
