> it is easy to optimise for diversity

only in the most crude, ham-fisted way though.

it's extremely hard to find people who actually break the groupthink. it's extremely hard to even identify your own groupthink blind spots, let alone cover them with people with genuinely different perspectives. the crude diversity solution seems highly likely to select for people with superficial differences but core similarities.

Yes it is extremely hard, which may make the ham-fisted way more practical.
