Anyway, the article is not written in good faith; it's only a step above "BOOM AOC owns Internet conservatives!". There's an interesting conversation in here somewhere, but this article seems designed to avoid it.

Can't wait for someone to try and guess my gender through HN... Maybe we should add a HN eula that states users must assume all other users are of a non-binary gender identity...
Now, you say this article should engage this counterpoint, but you haven't actually made a point. You've simply narrowly constructed "all models contain bias" to view only attempts to balance known bias with skepticism. You also fail to take a position on what we should do about this -- we're forced as readers to assume your conclusion is that counter-bias programming is bad and the status quo is good. That is wrong, but you don't actually say it so now that I've said it out loud you can complain that you're misunderstood or I'm making false assumptions about you, then continue to argue without ever stating your thesis about what should be done.
What's your belief? What's your suggested course of action? Take a stand for what you really believe.
