It's entirely possible for Caplan to be correct about his material analysis, and that still not be the right conclusion. If the government doesn't subsidise education, then anything that doesn't promise a return is financially debilitating. Personal choice can't exist when your ability to eat and pay rent rely upon you making a specific decision. If you don't believe that humanities education has any kind of broader social value, then that's a whole other argument to make. |

How do the critics know that it is not the right conclusion? Where are their numbers that support their conclusion.
Look, I understand research is hard and that it may occasionally result in an incorrect conclusion from the data that was gathered. It happens.
But it is not logically consistent to call the conclusion wrong when there is no data to support that position.
