This is the stupidest HN techbro talking point. And tnere's plenty of competition.

You think you're so analytical, free of emotion, smart, quantitative, evidence-led?

Well here's a riddle: the CEO as well as the chief flight test engineer are massively implicated in this scam. Both are engineers, obviously. The system that failed was designed, approved, built, and tested by hundreds of engineers. How easily do these people fold under pressure? How come none of them used whistleblower laws for their and two planeloads' of passengers' advantage?

Is it possible, maybe, that a tiny bit of you likes that argument? Yeah... that's called "emotion", and "identity". And contrary to popular opinion, it's neither bad nor exclusively for women, MBA, and other lesser beings.

And here's a paper that shows engineering CEOs are no better than others, except for measures of social and environmental impact: https://journals.vgtu.lt/index.php/JBEM/article/view/10447

If you actually want (statistically significant) better results, hire foreigners (above), or women: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10997-012-9224-7
