Thanks for summarizing. Note that the article specifically observes:
> Professors strongly disagreed on the truth status of 10 candidate taboo conclusions: For each conclusion, some professors reported 100% certainty in its veracity and others 100% certainty in its falsehood.
So it's worth contextualizing these with the note that there's _disagreement_ about whether or not any of these statements is actually correct or not. But it's not 50/50: Some of the statements had higher overall belief ("Biological sex is binary for most people" being the most widely-believed among survey participants, with 66%), and some had much lower belief ("demographic diversity .. worse performance" being the lowest, at 21%).
