<p>I am just saying that there are other reasons as to why the number (or per capita rate) of MA students is higher at Harvard. Your reasoning that it is due to bias from the adcoms while perhaps (I would say probably) has some truth, it almost certainly does not account for the 3-1 bias the numbers show. This is due to another bias (and the one that I alluded to) - the sampling bias. You have not mentioned that anywhere…</p>
<p>Instead you chose to attack me which while appearing effective does not actually advance your argument in any way. </p>
<p>I take offense at statistics being used incorrectly, and I attacked your figures. You attacked me. Which of those responses would be more attractive to Harvard?</p>
<p>(I do admit though that my tone was mocking, but it was intended in a humorous manner… Tone does not carry well over the internet.)</p>
