I am explicitly talking about the generally used definition of diversity, which I believe boils down to what I put in the comment:
> "distribution in the winners of competitions is the same as the distribution of participants"
(and sometimes even extended to the distribution of the population)
Like you say, an individual's performance, like any other individual data point in statistics, can be anything, or anyone in this case. I should probably have mentioned that.
- asabjorn 8y agoMakes sense. Yes, only a small subset of people in general have a good understanding of statistics. - People on the radical left without a good understanding of statistics are often outraged by how they misunderstand how statistical should be interpreted - People on the identarian right make outrageous statements the statistics can't support. I try to avoid both misunderstandings by explicitly stating the caveat.
