}}There is ''actual'' diversity — assembling teams of actually different people from different backgrounds, of different ages, genders, races, with varying cultural perspectives and who hold a diverse array of experience, expertise and opinion — and then there is [[diversity and inclusion]], a second-order derivative of that, which is currently the subject of an in-vogue land-grab by a particular faction of the [[human resources]] military-industrial complex. The latter, despite its name, is curiously homogenous in outlook and output and disarmingly intolerant of contrary opinion, being founded as it is on a political disposition rather than, specifically, an abstract aspiration to make an organisation more effective.
