One example doesn’t strike me as a glib dismissal, particularly since this study was done in the United States.
- maxerickson 7y agoThey don't give an example, they express their impression rather than providing contrary data.
- pmiller2 7y agoDo you expect an entire research paper in a single HN comment?
- izacus 7y agoNo, but I would expect HN participants to not dismiss a researched paper with a glib "feeling" that's utterly unfounded.
- maxerickson 7y agoI don't really care either way. I was arguing with your characterization of their comment, not demanding that they retract it.
- Barrin92 7y agothey didn't give an example but simply made an assertion, one that by the way is likely wrong, given that the East of England is generally upheld as an example of good mobility(https://www.theguardian.com/higher-education-network/2018/feb/14/we-cannot-let-london-outstrip-other-regions-on-social-mobility https://www.theguardian.com/higher-education-network/2018/fe...), compared to the rest of the country.
- scarejunba 7y agoAh, I see. Then I shall counter: London has pretty good upward mobility.
