Well, there is a greater issue. Social scientists (or social sciences) have been reduced to a variant of identity politics: who speaks for which group!! Instead of this (who speaks for which group), these scientists (after all, Wadhwa was (is?) a professor of business) should have produced 'knowledge' about what is going in the tech industry. Here, it requires more than "who speaks for which group": generating non-ad hoc hypotheses to understand phenomena, testing such hypotheses for testable consequences. When one can't produce knowledge, they end up with arguments. On one hand, one can reasonably argue for any proposition, say P, to an extent. On the other hand, some others can reasonbly argue for the logical opposite of P too. In the end, it boils down to who believes P or not-P.
