This is fascinating. If you had fewer women to choose from, and their applications were often worse, you were arguably "lowering the bar" in the name of diversity. And yet you ended up with better results in the end. Do you think that's because the skills needed for a good application weren't the same as the skills needed for performing well at the event? Or was it a team-based competition, and you ended up with mixed teams that therefore performed better? Obviously you've thought a lot about it, so I'm interested in whether you've come to a conclusion.
