@KirkegaardEmil my point is that even the best schools don't produce homogeneous outcomespic.twitter.com/7BPxmuNFii
@RCAFDM They are talking about the aggregate correlation. It doesn't say anything about variation within income bands.

@KirkegaardEmil i know, it's technically accurate, but they use that to then say stuff like SAT only measures (income|wealth) -
@RCAFDM Well, the conclusion is clearly wrong. :P Sacket and Kuncel did a pretty good take-down of that idea. -
@KirkegaardEmil yep, but most people aren't going to watch that and sometimes summary stats are useful for getting points across :P -
@RCAFDM Politics always comes down to most people being too stupid. ;)
