[quote=Anonymous]Outliers had some to say about all this. Canadian hockey players succeed at a much higher rate if born in the first few months of the year. So what does this "prove"? From the Outliers Wikipedia entry: "Outliers asserts that success depends on the idiosyncrasies of the selection process used to identify talent just as much as it does on the athletes' natural abilities." That seems pretty clearly to suggest a belief the systems of selection can be gamed to help those with less than stellar natural gifts. This is not quite how folks who haven't read Outliers carefully sum up its message on these boards.[/quote]
