I don't think the author needed to bring "false accusation" into the picture here, and in fact it weakens the point. I think male investor saying to a female CEO that her male colleague is better suited to the CEO role would be taken, ipso facto, as sexism. No falsehoods need enter the picture.

But in this case it would be a false accusation. That's kind of the entire point - he's afraid to give honest feedback out of fear of a false accusation.
