We're talking about actually being successful, not getting a job. Opposite ends of the spectrum.
If you don't see the underlining contexts that are associated with growth opportunity and resources, you are the one who is mistaken.
You've already stated your bias and lack of empathy in your quote towards eidolon. therefore, your argument is nullified in your support to the thought of "if you work hard you will be successful." and "if you don't have this disposition naturally you're already a looser."
well, i'll say bullshit. What makes you think an infant has the skills necessary to do basic elementary level math? or even most other skills at the elementary level?
In your light, we should all be already to do calculus within seconds of vacating the womb.
Why do those statistics matter? because it's exactly what this article is talking about, in which you seem to neglect or ignore (at this point;but what ever makes you sleep).
The only critique that eidolon really had to make was that the man who was writing the article might have been in a better position to extract already existing resources, on top of the fact that he might have been learned well enough to understand where his god damn bread was being buttered.
Aside from the choice of words, i'd agree with eidolon (and my rebut was rather tough to craft, but we're not in disagreement).
Last point, you're just increasing the writers points by saying what you said.
