"Dishonest" was only one of the possibilities I mentioned. 'Sloppy" was another. I don't remember whether I stated it but whether I did or not "heavily biased" is another. Different from dishonest since if you really believe it your not lying. I think this was a subjective opinion rather than an objective assessment based on absolute income levels with or without compensating factors. The problem with that is the difference is so extreme, that it doesn't work well even as a subjective opinion. Different people could argue that Jordan was better than Lebron, or vice versa, or have different opinions about Russel vs Chamberlain or Bird vs Johnson etc. You disagree with me on any of those well we all have opinions. But there are plenty of people (even plenty of NBA players) who it just wouldn't be reasonable to say are better players than those players are or were. Its not all just a matter of opinion. "Alongside some of the poorest areas of the world" means your talking about things like facing a real risk of dying of starvation. Maybe your "job" is searching through toxic wastes in a dump for items of almost no value. Where a sweat shop job is a big step up in life if you can get it.
