Yes, the parent post evokes some ridiculous reverence for ".55 is very close to .56". At least compare ratio of average income per race to ratio of GPA, not some bizarre ratio of "% > threshold". I could probably find an income threshold so that the ratios are exactly equal.


Whoever downvoted this is wrong. There's always a threshold so "fraction less than threshold" is x for any 0<=x<=1.
