@csdad2 “And you go further, you attack others as making “excuses”, I presume, for pointing out some of these deficiencies and limitations of the data, and giving reasons for why the data is as it is.”
I made that comment in response to: “Stop changing the subject. The focus was on business and engineering. There’s no evidence that a chemistry BA from Lehigh earns more than a chemistry BA from Wesleyan, all things being equal.”
I provided data to support what I asserted. However, I don’t feel the need to provide data to defend an assertion that I didn’t make. I am suggesting that if s/he wants to provide data to explain the difference, that would be great. The burden of providing data to explain away the difference, is on the person who it trying to explain it away, not on me.
