They didn't say all recent graduates performed better than 50%, just the ones that they interviewed from Palestine. It sounds plausible that they only interviewed a handful and they were better than that 50%.

Then the numbers are too low to draw conclusions.
where did he draw any conclusion?? It seem like you're the one who jump to conclusion here.

It was just merely stating a fact that Dalia and her acquaintance perform better in the hiring process than at least half the experienced engineers he has ever interview.

If anyone is jumping to conclusion its you guys

"It seem" you're the one jumping for a fight. My comment still stands regardless of anyone coming to any conclusion.

I don't know who "you guys" is.

take it as whatever it is you want.
Yea, the numbers would be if that was the case. I don't think the person that said that statistic was saying it like it passed the 5 sigma mark. It was given as an offhand anecdote and I didn't see a reason for the overly negative post that I responded to originally.
