The talent pool isn't being doubled. You're misunderstanding the goal.
There are already female officials. Have been for years. Long enough to where it's not even a thing anymore. The pool of talent already includes males and females.
Silver wants to hit a numbers quota that has nothing to do with merit. In a field/industry that is naturally male dominated.

Is your argument that females are better officials by virtue of being female? Laughable position if so.

Way to conflate two different points. Terrible debate tactic.

Now you're moving the goalposts. Your original assertion is that the talent pool was being "doubled." Erroneous.
There can always be improvement in employment. Suggesting that it needs to be 50% just because is not an improvement, it is progressing towards a hiring quota for PR purposes. Definitely not "maximization."

Then make a better argument that does not prompt such a conclusion. That's on you.

This is neither a rebuttal nor an argument.
Do better.
Be better.
