If you read the paper itself, it's basically empirical work describing the negative effects, followed by an essay claiming the positive ones. As I said - he spent 6 years looking for something to counter his empirical results, and published when he came up with it.

Note also that I'm not strongly endorsing this work - I'm just pointing out the strong desire to not publish a result against diversity.
