Golfer, no. To whatever extent I meant it seriously, I meant:
A) You can never prove cause and effect from two ideas coinciding.
B) It’s hard to be poor with kids and be MO, so some may choose not to be (in either direction).
The article popa referred to actually suggested that some who can’t afford it go OTD (more make aliyah, as I had mentioned).
The point of the article was to lament that the high cost of being MO drives people towards high paying professions, and there are therefore too few people in professions which allow for more expression and creativity.
