You can conclude that the effects of implicit bias are not well understood and maybe we should study it a little bit more before we treat it as absolute truth and factor it into decision making.
I don't see how I could conclude anything about how well understood implicit bias is from one or two examples of it materializing or failing to materialize.
People thought they understood it, they started applying policies around it and then their assumptions turned out to be false, hence me saying it's not well understood.
