DISCUSSION: The author argued that normal communities were diverse, and computer conferences weren’t diverse.
___________
- So? Conferences still might not be diverse. We want actual diversity, not mere support for diversity.
- CORRECT. This does it. Soon, computer conferences could include people of diverse backgrounds. That would make them more like real communities. The argument’s main point was that conferences aren’t diverse. (lines 55-60)
- So? This tells us computer conference members are polite within their own communities. But it doesn’t show that computer conferences are communities. The main critique was that conferences weren’t diverse.
- So? There’s more to a community than feeling comfortable when dealing with others. A community needs diversity too.
- So? Real communities might still be good enough at communicating. “More” successful is very vague. Are conferences 50% more successful, or 0.5% more successful?
