This is discouraging, incidentally, but not exactly surprising. [Thankfully no one ever asks me. Just never seems relevant--imagine!]

What's most discouraging is that the people answering the question are idiots. Rapist teachers and atheist teachers are both subsets of the group "teachers". So the group "teachers" is more likely to contain the offender, always. Even if a third group was "hit and run teachers" - still, teachers would be the correct answer.

Ugh. I read that again, and I'm now confused why the answers are all "teacher", just with and without qualifiers. Or can I give some credit to the people answering who figure there will more likely be an atheist teacher than a rapist teacher?

So more proof that studies are misleading, but I think the article is proof of losers all around.

I wonder if the study was as badly worded as the article.
