SAT score itself should not be used to prove or disprove the discriminative

Beida101 (北大学子) 于 (Sat Jun 16 17:19:05 2012, 美东) 提到:
＂哈佛大学年初时被教育部调查是否在录取上对亚裔有歧视之嫌，今年亚裔的录取率就
是近年来最高的，比往年增加了15%。＂
这个所谓的联系在逻辑上是站不住脚的。我还可以说：
今年是龙年，今年亚裔的录取率就是近年来最高的，比往年增加了15%。
龙年嘛，龙的子孙当然应该沾光了。我这个推断和８０－２０所说的，在逻辑上不分彼
此。况且我这个前提时间上至少有效四个月，比那个十五天长了７倍！
再来看一看所谓１５％的录取率增长。去年（２０１１）是哈佛录取亚裔较低的一年（
２００７－２０１２）。今年恰好是哈佛录取亚裔较高的一年。七年中，录取率就在
１７.６－２０.７％的区间波动。
从这个数据比较中，你能说今年的２０.７％是因为一个有始无终的调查吗？

On any list of calamities threatening the world economy, a China crash ranks
at or near the top. Just what would constitute a “crash” is murky.
Already, China’s sizzling rate of economic growth has declined from 10
percent annually — the average from the late 1970s until 2011 — to 7
percent, which is still high by historical standards. The question is
whether the deceleration continues and growth goes much lower.
