Choi:All other factors being equal, children whose parents earned doctorates are more likely to earn a doctorate than children whose parents did not earn doctorates.
Hart:But consider this: Over 70 percent of all foctorate holders do not have a parent that also holds a doctorate.
为什么Hart's consideration doesn't contradict Choi's claim?
我是这样想的:
一共20个parents:10个doc parents +10个nondoc parents
生的kids earn doc的:6个doc kids +4个doc kids
这时Hart说all doctorate holders能不能看成是那些earn doc的kid呢?这些kids毕竟也可以说是doc holders啊。如果这样可以的话,就推出在所有kids earn doc里面,即这10个doc kids里面,有7个是non doc parents生的。矛盾了……
