No need for that. Just tell him that this was his worst tweet so far. He's in the business about telling people about their worst X's. :)
In law, as in medicine. If you want more competent lawyers you will get fewer persons from low scoring groups. https://www.nybarexam.org/press/summary.pdf …pic.twitter.com/TnpZTyNHf4

Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Not to mention, you know, relevant content knowledge! :)

Eh, maybe. Regardless, choice to restrict options of consumers on this basis seems hard to defend with one caveat (public defenders)
-
I don't think public choice is as important as the general competence of lawyers etc.
-
Why so important to raise average competence in this profession?

Bold claim. Surely weak correlation between LSAT and bar passage is suggestive.
-
(Pearson) Correlation is the wrong method. Outcome is binary. Use proper model and it works fine. http://taxprof.typepad.com/taxprof_blog/2013/09/law-school-gpa-.html …

Effect sizes matter; looking at the regression table (and descriptions) confirm result looks weak
-
Plot shows the predictions to be quite useful. Validity mostly obscured by the low bar for passing the test.
-
Plot shows the opposite to me! You have to jump really far across the range of LSAT scores for big changes in probability
-
Take the -1 z GPA (least restricted). There's 7 ticks. Compare 3rd vs. 5th, for a +85% increase in pass rate.pic.twitter.com/ch4xsXSG2E

You know that using % increase rather than % point increase is highly misleading
-
Not misleading in this case. OR only superior to RR when base rate is very high. I chose the least problematic curve for this reason.

1. Untrue; many reasons correlation is not transitive 2. Doesn't seem to Google
-
Correlation is partially transitive. Discussed by Jensen already, of course, by Jensen. http://emilkirkegaard.dk/en/?p=5796 pic.twitter.com/7zwzaqukAD

You are weaving an unfounded narrative using correct facts. Same problem as Murray and that is why he got mobbed.

An unfounded narrative! I've been called worse. :)

Hmm. 49.8% of black candidates 675+, versus 84.8% of whites; a remarkably close parallel to the famous 1 s.d. black-white gap in I.Q. scores
