Can you point us to such documentation?  It would be nice to know under
which conditions the assertion holds, according to which metrics, etc.

Also, may I make the matter more concrete?  You have been the BDFL
during 20+ years.  A one-person deciding group of a single white male is
not exactly diverse.  Retrospectively, do you think this led you to take
worse decisions?
