I don't even say what you claim -- I ask the question, which is different from saying it's probably the case.
But sure, I cannot only imagine it, that is the position I take. In this piece I even mention two things men perform better at (3d mental rotation and chess). I don't consider this is an issue.
To be clear, not having a go at you and not suggesting anything wrong with what you said - on the contrary, pretty rational conclusions based on the data.
It's more about modern society and feminism. What you said is apparently perfectly fair to say for any area where women do better - teaching, non STEM graduates, arts, publishing,care, admin....
Take any field where men take interest and do better - sports, tech, STEM - and it's a patriarchal plot against women. Suggest men like to do these activities, are better at it, or it's greater variability...and you will get the Damore outcome.
It's female-dominated, so men aren't particularly interested in participating and aren't particularly driven to win. Having women around makes men less competitive, and competing against women is lose-lose anyway - if you lose, you lost to a woman; if you win, you only beat a woman.
If you had male-only and female-only competitions with the exact same challenges, I strongly suspect you would see men outperform women.
We need to see more participation (by both sexes) and more training. I am not sure how much time people are devoting to training. The scene and prizes need to go up too.
Once those happen, my guess is that we will see what we see in professional scrabble: more female participation overall but the upper ranks will be increasingly dominated by men.
Nonetheless, here is to hoping women do better here.
Male hunters, female gatherers
"There is nothing wrong with this.... obvious questions. Are women just more interested in jigsaw puzzles? Are they better at solving them?"
Imagine any activity or profession where it's mostly men participating and winning.
Can you imagine saying there is nothing wrong with it, and it's probably just because they are smarter at this activity?

The winning females are likely to have the X gene mutation for Tetrachromacy.

Another Orange med-long wavelength cone in the eye to go with the usual 3 R G B cones most of us have, long, medium, short wavelengths.
Seemingly only manifested in X X’ pairs, just women.
Such women can see color differences better. I guess it’s a ripe not rotten fruit gathering survival advantage.

Color blindness ?
It’s too early to speculate.
