Is there any reason to believe that the current trend will reverse and the damage will be undone if we just keep adding more diversity to the mix? Why would we think that it won't make matters even worse, like it's done until now? Simplifying a little, Putnam seems to me like a man who sees a house on fire, acknowledges that the fire is destroying the house, but then instead of calling the firefighters he reassures himself that everything will be okay in the end. I seriously doubt that this is the right attitude to take towards a problem...
