Having more degrees per capita or higher levels of degrees doesn’t necessarily mean “better educated.”
- m0zg 7y agoNot to mention it dilutes the value of having a degree.
- supercanuck 7y agoYes it does. That is exactly the definition of Education.
- m0zg 7y agoMore != better. If it was, Princeton/Yale/Stanford/MIT/etc would not exist.
- supercanuck 7y agoMore information is not better than less?
- m0zg 7y agoQuite obviously. Google search would not exist if that wasn't the case.
- achillesheels 7y agoYou’re assuming there isn’t more noise too.
- lilsoso 7y agoYou're intentionally missing the point of his argument: eating more does not mean better nutrition.
- mijamo 7y agoSure, you can always nitpick data and refuse to draw any conclusion ever. You can also say that you cannot adjust the dollar value over long period, which is also true. You could also say that median or average do not represent accurately a population, which is also true. This is the wonder of statistics, none is perfect and you can always find a way to discard them.
