I've read the whole, original PNAS article. I have to say, I don't see a major distortion/dilution of it in the submission's linked article.
For instance the reason why there wasn't enough backed ventures that were led by women.. The PNAS article hinted that the fact women pursue less (and those who do, do mainly in cosmetics and such matters) has something to do with that.. Yet the article chose to ignore that and asked the question as if there were no answer to it, and then picked the part good-looking men get funding, and used that to answer the question.
Sorry for late answer.
