That seems like only a good thing to me. Mocking and dismissing (which you just did) interrogations of such things is disingenuous and intellectually lazy. "Ah, that old <woke> <regressive> <commie> BS!"
Prescribing policy or social change based on the "findings" merits discussion and argument; for instance, I would wager that the orchestra example would have valid arguments both for and against in most peoples' eyes, and depends on the specifics of a case. But to dismiss out of hand is dumb.
