Fun with small data sets. As far as I can tell, fully 1/3 of the difference they describe is due to a single female judge with the unlikely name of "Bruce". This line is my favorite:

> Moreover, changing a girl’s name from “Sue” to “Bruce” (99% of those named “Bruce” in South Carolina’s voting population are males) increases her probability of becoming a judge by a factor of 5 (roughly).

Right. And changing a boy's middle name to Hussein no doubt increases his changes of reaching the White House by a factor of 1000.
