> I agree that blind auditions can make sense—even if they do not have the large effects claimed in that 2000 paper, or indeed even if they have no aggregate relative effects on men and women at all.
so, what the OP said
> Many orchestras switched to blind auditions, and it drastically increased the number of female musicians.
is incorrect because quoting again from the article:
> or indeed even if they have no aggregate relative effects on men and women at all.
> but remember just a few years ago when Turkey shot down a Russian jet on the Syrian border and almost led to NATO involvement
It led to nothing, Turkey asked for Patriot missile systems (to protect from attacks from Syria, not Russia or Black Sea), which were hastily provided. Russia started cutting economical ties with Turkey, Erdoğan wrote a personal apology letter to Putin, and after that things got better.
