Reply To: New NASI Study

According to the mathematics which you agree to, then it’s actually impossible that there are an equal pool of boys corresponding to the natural pool of girls

1. There is no defined pool. There are dozens of overlapping pools, with undefined limits.

2. Who cares about the natural pool? We only care about the actual pool.

You would need to prove that these additional boys really exist, unless you can disprove the mathematical equation which the age gap theory is based on.

Why do I have the burden of proof? I’m merely suggesting that the age gap is not shown to be the cause of there being more girls than boys, if it ever attacked at all, if it indeed was the enemy. (cf. A Separate Peace, John Knowles. How come he never wrote any other decent books?)

I figured that this is information we might want to know, as we raise the standard of shadchanus, and encourage boys to get married younger which will probably lead to less learning and more divorces.
