Osama bin AJ at it again, hijacking a thread again with a semantics argument.
AJ's quote:
"why do we assume that a larger number of males in the school means a larger number of "athletes" in the school. just because your school has 100 more males, that does not mean they have 100 more athletes to choose from. you will probably have a few more, but number of athletes and number of males are two different categories."
From this quote, a rational thinking person would deduce that you are saying the TOTAL number of males in a school population has very little corelation with the TOTAL number of athletes.
This is a complete irrational statement. You take any random sample of students and the larger sample group is going to have a larger number of athletes. You don't have to assume anything, it is a FACT.
According to your original quote, you suggest that we shouldn't assume Mishawaka has more athletes than Garrett just because they have more kids. That comparison can logically be drawn from your original quote.
Y2JC calls you out for the sheer silliness of your original quote with a comparison of Mishawaka and Garrett. Mishaawaka has more males but according to your original quote we should not assume that just because they have more males, they have more athletes. But then you contradict your original position by saying it would be assinine to think that Garrett has as many athletes as Mishawaka.
Where do stand? Do more numbers equal more athletes? You seem to say so in the comparison of Mishawaka and Garrett...or Do more numbers not equal more athletes as you suggest in your original quote.
Possibly a little sarcasm is the only possible answer left when your position disjointed and schitzophrenic.
But...instead of acknowledging how untenable your position is you decide to hijack the thread by stating that you never mentioned Mishawaka and Garrett.
It is true, that you never mentioned those to schools. However you did mention a larger group (Mishawaka for example)of males and a smaller group (Garrett for example) and suggest that there is very little corelation of number of athletes when comparing these two groups.
Y2JC merely pointed out how untterly ridiculous your original position was by providing you with a concrete example of Mishawaka (large group of males) and Garrett (smaller group of males). When faced with this concrete example position changes 180 degrees and now you agree that the larger group will have more athletes.
Just because you didn't physically type Mishawaka and Garrett doesn't mean others can't extrapolate from your orignal quote that Mishawaka could be the larger group and Garrett the smaller group. When faced with this example your original quote is exposed as completely hairbrained. You freely acknowledge this when you say it assinine to think that Garrett has as many athletes as Mishawaka.
