Agreed, but I'd think you'd have to be sure to say it was incorrect.

> I'm claiming that for society (underprivileged * degree) + (privileged * talent difference) > (underprivileged) + (privileged * degree * talent difference). Less people collecting welfare, less crime, less single moms, etc. I'd like to look at data that contradicts this. I can't offer up data myself though at the moment, so I certainly don't expect it.

There is no data that proves your statement. There are millions of unknowns hidden in your inequality, any one of which could reverse the sign completely.
