"He's already failed at the first step - it's basic logic. What he is saying is the equivalent of:

Here's a counter example, 70% of patients with Ebola die from Ebola. This isn't logic, it's facts. For the 'average women' and 'average men', he was trying to point out facts, not basic logic.
At most, his mistake was not putting reference or stating reference to the studies and not putting disclaimers on his points being interpretation, assumption or studies result. Also, he probably should have considered the reaction the memo has on female staffs and change it to avoid misunderstanding.
