I've done a lot of hiring. I hired the best person for the job. I never asked anyone about his parents' stratification position.

Well, I would certainly hope not. But the social channels which produced the set of folk who arrived at your door were, partially, structured by their parents' position and by the education afforded by that. Definitely not totally.

This is surely a waste of your time as well as mine. You think I'm arguing politics when I'm simply putting forward research results.

As said in other quarters, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
