Ah, I should have specified software engineering. However as an example, there have been a good amount of studies that show that problem solving (detection and solution generation) are enabled by diversity† Combined with this, many studies of the demographics in software engineering show that it lacks gender and racial diversity†† I certainly should have been more clear about what I was implying.
