In order to avoid adverse impact, the passing rate for the protected classes (non-whites, females, and those over 40), must be 80% or more of the relevant comparison class. The Tescor Survey is designed so that the protected classes always pass the 80% rule by a wide margin in any adequate sample.

Precisely. Since one extreme has worse popularity than the other extreme, they go with the extreme that is more popular and carries less consequences.
