Eric, you are presenting statistics on a board where many people don't like to think that logically. :)

Just kidding. But your analysis is perfectly reasonable. For many years, women use to complain that they didn't get enough exec jobs. But then some studies came out that the # of women execs as a percentage of men execs represented the same ratio as percentage of women in the pool of qualified candidates.

Another study showed how the number of women engineers and doctors correlated very nicely with the number of women studying to be engineers or doctors. It's all just common sense, but statistics in general can be very confusing to the uninitiated, even the simpler concepts.
