Assumes equal distribution of skill across diversity lines. This can be the case, but as gender bias for STEM starts at a very young age and we try to artificially correct it later, that may not be the case. In spite of individual skills, however, there may be value in diversity of thought. So the challenge becomes creating equality (job opportunities are purely derived from the individual's skills in spite of diversity characteristics) vs creating maximally performing organizations, which may benefit(or suffer) from those diversity characteristics.
