I think the "diversity" part of "diversity" is more than just what's visible.
It's the ability to represent different backgrounds and in turn, guide your organization in new growth directions.
Hiring the "best candidates" is often a coin toss at the end anyways, let's not pretend we have a bunch of savants being passed over.
You can hire the best candidates with the same characteristics AND you can alternatively hire the best candidates with diverse characteristics.
Echo chambers aren't exactly the best for business.
I know which company I would bet on to add value to itself.
