Would you be willing to torpedo a good candidate making a reasonable request for compensation based on a discrepancy on this site?

Would I personally? No. But then I would not ask the requisite question of "what was your prior salary" in the first place.

Fact of the matter is that this tool makes it trivial for medium and large employers to suppress wages.

And if you were, I suspect you are doing the candidate a favor.

a favor? how so
