I interpret it as a carefully-worded statement intended to avoid controversy. This was not a forum for progressive politics; it was a sales presentation. If anything, it may have been tinged with a little no-duh sarcasm, but I wasn't there, so I'm only speculating as to the possibility. I think it would be a little absurd to imagine that any presenter, regardless of gender or race, would have presented things differently, in this context. Whatever the opinion of the presenter, any presentation is going to be carefully vetted by dozens of marketing and management types before it makes it to the stage.<br /><br />This is not to say that your other points are invalid, but it is worth considering whether you could expect the content of the presentation to depend much (or at all) upon the identity of the presenter. It DOES say something, though, about the audience that the company is trying to reach.MrFellownoreply@blogger.com
