Question 1194406: Are these two claims equivalent, in conflict, or not comparable because they’re talking
about different things?
a. “Every year since 1950, the number of American children gunned down has
doubled.”
b. “The number of child gunshot deaths has doubled from 1950 to 1994.” Answer by ikleyn(52788) (Show Source):
They are not equivalent, not in conflict and not " non-comparable ".
They simply consider the same phenomenon with different degree of detalization.
It is the same as if you look at the same blood cell through two different microscopes that provide different resolutions:
naturally, you will have different views; but they are not equivalent or "in conflict", or " non-comparable ".
It is better to say that these different statements/views/info each other.
This question relates more to words usage and/or to search of appropriate words than to Math.
What is/was the reason of posting it to this forum ?
