This blew up because 1) English is an imprecise language subject to multiple interpretations; 2) Viral effects develop when there are feedback loops/network effects (virtue signaling is one; conservative vs liberal politics is another) I would hope that a more narrowly focused document written in more formal language (math) with clearly-stated assumptions and a faq that addresses common misinterpretations will have fared better but these days even expecting this might be too much (which is sad!). The one thing I feel that lost out on all this brouhaha was the author's point that companies should value "diversity of thoughts" rather than diversity of <the current hot topic class>!
