Just commenting to explain that I strongly downvoted this post because:
The “Unambiguous Falsehoods” section appears to contain exclusively truths or ambiguous claims of falsehood on Nonlinear’s part (extremely strange to read, and happened constantly as I was reading this post)
I’m not sure how it’s possible to totally disregard the power dynamics / coercion at play when an independently-wealthy person threatens to sue someone investigating them, but it appears that you’ve succeeded in doing so
Overall I think you have a fun and engaging writing style—kudos for that—but the content of this post was harmful.
Do you have more information on what Denisov-Blanch’s methodology was? I’m honestly quite skeptical of the claims made here, and I’m a little disappointed that it’s gotten published so widely—for starters, how do you think he identified who an engineer was at each of the companies in his dataset? What companies and organizations ended up in his dataset?
I think there’s a few reasons for skepticism if you look at the guy’s background, so I wonder what digging you’ve done.
