How is it skewing the stat, when you include the entire base? I have not left anything off

Precluded, did not necessarily lead.
The school itself did not create the situation, however the choice put you in the situation and had you not been put in the situation it might not have occurred.

How do you know they would have?
They might not have, but you shouldnt exclude them because they dont fit the argument you trying to create

Actually it quite comical the projection some of you bama fans have placed upon me in this thread.

Just look at all three stats and you can state whichever one is most important to you
This is exaclty whats wrong with what I am saying. you are picking and choosing which works best for you by removing the bad rather than looking at the entire scope

It is not skewing the stat, it makes a different stat. One which I have repeatedly said I think is more meaningful. Lets try an example, shall we?
I want to look at my life expectancy, so I look at the average life expectancy of every animal on earth, coupled with the number of animals of each species to get an average life expectancy for any "being" on earth.
Then I look at the life expectancy, historical life figures, whatever for only humans and get a whole new stat. Is this stat "skewed" because I reduced the population size because it didn't fit my argument. Or is it simply a more valid stat for what I thought was important.

No I am picking the entire data set which best reflects the information I think is valuable in this discussion and seeing what the results are.
