In the GP’s view, it’s the top N% of the applicant pool, so a more diverse applicant pool leads to more diverse talks.
Talk selection is blind (per GP), so the increasing % of female-led talks is evidence for the GP viewpoint. If the Parent view were correct, the same 98% male talks would be selected because they are “objectively better” than the lower-quality female-led talks that are bulking up the applicant pool.
I have not verified the claim about talk selection being blinded. A source (or contradicting source) would be welcome.
In the parent’s view, the top N% is fixed.
