&gt; Diverse teams bring different perspectives for solving problems. By problems I don&#x27;t mean just technical ones, but also design, usability, and marketing. &lt;<p>Honest question here regarding quoting of statistics.<p>If statistics showed that homogenous teams led to better solving of problems, does that mean the teams should discourage diversity?<p>If not, then clearly the reason why diversity is encouraged is not because it brings better results, rather that it is considered as a more &#x27;just&#x27; position.<p>It&#x27;s like when people say &quot;Studies show that gay parents are better parents than straight parents&quot; as a reason to support gay marriage. The idea is simple, even if it didn&#x27;t, that wouldn&#x27;t be a reason against gay marriage.
