You’ve correctly called out the aggregate, but I don’t hire aggregates, I hire people. If the best person happens to be female, the average (or median) of all the people who didn’t apply or aren’t being considered doesn’t matter.
The converse is, of course, even sillier.
That’s what James wrote; yes, aggregates exist, and they matter, but don’t judge people by the ‘tribe’ (his word) to which they belong. In PC-land, even noticing this fact is taboo.
