    Hank’s razor:

    Teenagers from families wealthy enough to supervise early adolescents more come from families wealthy enough to get them through higher education.

      This is completely different though. You can’t assume that the results from a study about supervision would somehow perfectly overlap with a study about wealth. They’d be two entirely different studies.

        If they’re 35 now we’re talking 20+ years ago. So late 90s/early 2000s when iPads were not yet a thing.

        The same study may show up something different in a decade or two.

        Also, I wager that most wealthy families are not iPad families but I could be wrong on that. I’d say there are just more iPad families now so they’re very noticeable.

        Ipad: $2000 if you splurge

        Supervising a young teen for 3-4 years every day: somehow less than $2000? Do you have any idea how expensive it is not be working?
