Appeal to extremes, another logical fallacy.
I find it kind of funny that you think me asking your same question back at you is a logical fallacy. Makes you think, huh?
You're the one that specifically said that dead children was worth a better education, I just asked how many. Nobody brought up shit about cars except you.
Ironic considering we've made changes to playgrounds to specifically increase their safety.
We sure do! Perhaps relatedly, we've also undertaken a lot of steps to make in-person schooling safer! Regardless, kids die on playgrounds every year, just like some kids will die from COVID this year. How many dead kids are playgrounds worth to us? Clearly some!
Relative to peers, if all peers are in the same boat, there's no gradient. See: all of human history.
First, this would indicate that we should stop teaching people entirely, haha. After all, if we're all equally dumb what does it matter?
Second, their peers when they are adults are all other adults, many of whom didn't miss years of education!
Now you're being ridiculous. Surely you knew going in that in education like any social indicator 'proof positive' is impossible to come by.Ahh so now it's not proof positive, it's just a strong indicator. There's far more than a strong indicator that dead children cause a dramatic negative effect on the social fabric of society, so I'll take no dead kids over 'strong indicators'.
I'm sure you will take no dead kids, you've made that abundantly clear! My point is you aren't weighing the full costs of that decision.
