If hiring decisions are guided by the number of ACL/NeurIPS papers, you will hire essentially the same person over and over again: probably CS background, from a top US school, white, male, with the means to ignore everything for the sake of *ACL deadlines for a few years. /2
With more of the same kind of people, you will be doing incremental improvements to the same thing you're already doing - instead of trying to do smth radically better. That would requires intellectual diversity, so hiring managers should be casting their net wider. /3
