That’s all fair, I’d delete my comment if I could.

> Dissecting a second-hand sentence is pointless. Without more context, we can't know what they meant or what they were trying to communicate or the value of their opinion.

Totally agree. Sharing the second-hand sentence out of context also makes little sense, no? That was the only point I intended to make, and I should have left out the sloppy economic comparison.

All good: your comment got me to dig into some economic numbers - worthwhile for me or I wouldn't have bothered trying.

More importantly it reminded me that comparing group statistics is really hard!
