You do realize that those are not mutually exclusive, right? Lack of diversity makes a population vulnerable to stressors that might normally be survivable.
Conversely, the vulnerability of the population can lead to greater evolutionary diversity.

And someone might devise a computer program that shows constipation reduced the dinosaur’s ability to react to stress caused by dehydration and it would be just as plausible. The proof would be the small amount of fossilized dung in proportion to the fossilized bones found.
Dinosaurs existed in the real world, not in computer programs and in the real world we don't know why they died out.

This McNuggets news bit asks a question similar to asking why so few 7 ft. and 4 ft. tall men are in the Marines.
