T50,
Maybe it includes people who start and go back, lifelong learners etc?
[/ QUOTE ]It must include these types. Not that that's any sort of excuse, however. Any thinking person who reviews these articles before publication should have seen it and thought "that can't be right, there must be something messed up about that statistic" and omitted it. I guess it goes to show you that our media is much more concerned about shock value and startling readers than it is about coherence or honesty.

Perhaps the stat is 100% correct despite your factless assumption that it is impossible?
