[Gllug] VACANCY: Site Reliability Engineering

[Balbir Thomas]

What I ment in your own words is, as you rightly yourself point out (and I also
noted it in myprevious email), an "artifact". Why would you take an "artifact"
as a conclusion and then spread it around as an "urban myth". In this
case a myth spread by inaccurately representing the real implication of
that data.

I do not see where i have been unclear in what I said, please do not
hesitate to ask a more specific question. From what I understand of
what you are saying, is that you DO appreciate that the statement
 "salaries drop at or above the Ph.D level" is a misleading
interpretation (i.e. "artifact") of the data. All I am saying, is that
in view of this fact to continue to make such claims would imply
that you DO NOT appreciate the significance of what it means
to be an "artifact".
