Dude, you REALLY, I mean, really, need to take at least ONE
statistics/logic course.

The OBSERVATION pertains to AVERAGE STATISTICS. It is
NOT about 9 kids from a very poor family all going to college
(mine fits this bill: there are 9 of us, with parents with next to
no English: 3 UC graduates; 2 states; 1 BYU; the rest working
and working towards a college education), ON THE ONE HAND,
or ONE KID WHO IS A SPOILED BRAT, as you put it.

Take a course in statistic and/or logic!

Here, let me BREAK IT DOWN for you:

the PROBABILITY,,,,, (I know you PROBABLY do not have a
good grasp on even high school-level PROBIBILITY, but I'll make it
really easy, okay?: I'll factor in the "spoil brat" notion, as well as
the "good kid" notion, too, okay?, but distribute both notions
FAIRLY, or evenly ACROSS all kids, all families, okay???),,,,,

Now, let me start again,,,, the PROBIBILITY of 100 families each
having 9 kids (like, say, Her Lao's), with ALL KIDS going to college
(or just having good jobs in the office, without digging ditches or
collecting unpleasantly smell things as a living), IS STATISTICALLY
LOWER, MUCH LOWER (very significantly lower), than the
probability of 100 families with only ONE CHILD per set of parents
ALL going to college.

"probability" is often, if not exclusively, understood simply as a
fractional number between "0" and "1",,,, E.g., Her Lao's
"chances" -- or probability) of buying $20 Powerball tickets
tonight and winning the Powerball prize is so close to ZERO,
it might as well be zero, for all practicality reasons; but it is,
statistically not zero, because there is a chance, 1 in 60 million
plus or so, that he could win it!!! But the "chances" or probility
is VERY, VERY, VERY low,,,, do you understand it????

NOW,,,

the deep thoughts "spoil brat":

the PROBILITY that, all other factors considered, all things being
equal,,,, the child from a one-child family will be a "spoil brat" is
VERY, VERY LOW, compared to the probability that AT LEAST
ONE CHILD FROM A FAMILY WITH 9 KIDS WOULD BE "spoiled"
and would cause a lot of problems and headaches to the parents
and elders.

What does that mean?, you ask: Well it means this:

EACH CHILD, whether you're from a large or a small family -----
has the same chance/probability of being a "spoiled kid," just
like they may or may not have the same chances/probility of
going to college.

But, get this, I swear this is SOUND STATISTICS or at least
probability: all factors considered, the ONE-CHILD families
each has only 1 set of probility that he/she would be spoiled;
but the 9-child families EACH having the probablity that
9 out of 9 kids COULD be problematic, slow to learning,
not going to college, etc. EACH child, remember, has an
equal chances of being "this" or "that",,,

It is NOT as you illogically put: that "the one child could be
a spoil brat" and "the man-child families could be ALL good,
college bound",,, THIS IS A NONSENSICAL observation, do
you see it?

LOGIC, statistics [if possible], probability, etc. say this:

EACH child has a certain set of "probabilitic chances" of
being "this" or "that" or something in between. But if you have
only ONE CHILD, it is limited to ONE SET of "those things",,,
but if you have 5, 9, or 12 children, you have 5, 9, OR 12
SETS of probabilistic chances of EACH child being "those
things."

If you have not taken a course on the matter, and it seems you
have not, it is with a HIGH probabilitic chance that you'd NOT
understand what I am saying,,,,, But I tried!
