while 60% of men in start-ups believe diverse teams are better at innovation and problem-solving, only 41% would be in favor of a companywide hiring practice to increase diversity. Really? If 60% believed, for example, that knowing how to code made for better hires, would only 41% be in favor of hiring people who know how to code? Those are... not the same thing at all. That is an extremely flawed analogy. The survey is taking about what makes for a good TEAM - further, it's only part of what makes a good team - one factor of many. You don't hire a team, however, you hire an individual. The comparison that she draws is significantly more black and white: "Person A is strictly a better hire than person B, but we're hiring person B."
