The post ends with:

> Pipeline problem, my ass.

after spending exactly no words refuting pipeline issues. I'm left to conclude that the author feels the two explanations are mutually exclusive and that by giving an anecdote about one, you can determine the other isn't real.

The issue is that people tend to use "pipeline problem" to ignore and excuse real issues with bias.

So it is not about rejecting the existence of a pipeline problem, it is instead to reject this as an excuse to ignore other real problems.

That is likely what the author was trying to say.
