The challenge I have with this is that performance in "the market" does not correlate so easily with the kind of team composition the GP is talking about. And as someone who has worked for large corporations, these companies rarely seem to suffer that much from dysfunctional teams and rotten eggs in key places.

I'd argue that changing minds does not need to be an objective of legislation. Sometimes there's just a behavior you want to prevent and it doesn't matter if people truly agree with the reason why.

This is not to say that employers don't look for the best and the brightest, but rather, they often settle for the first few acceptable candidates because to hold out for an even better applicant has tangible costs for the business and is often not worth it.
