> The fact that you pre-emptively accept the idea that maximizing diversity to its limits is beneficial to corporations

I literally never said that, nor do I believe it, nor do I quite understand what "maximizing diversity to its limits" means.

My belief primarily comes from working in a range of companies and environments, some that were quite diverse, and some that were really lacking in diversity (and by "lacking in diversity" I mean cases where, in just one example, we had a sizable team with only a single woman), and I've seen that the environments that were lacking in diversity had very specific problems that were a detriment to the business (in addition to just generally sucking for some folks specifically due to that lack of diversity).
