I would argue it all comes down to how much 'trust' can be generated within a network. A network of people with lots of common similarities and easily shared traits will have a higher level of trust and therefore a greater propensity to share and receive more nuanced ideas/concepts. Large open and highly diverse networks of people will feel less 'trustworthy' or less 'comfortable' for people to contribute to or participate in. The most effective networks have high levels of 'inner-trust' to generate ideas between participants, and cross-pollinating trust' to share ideas between networks.
