yeah, ummm

Winslow and Brent point out that I made an error in believing that the gender gap was due to the families continuing to have children until they have a son. That still results in equal gender populations.... So yeah, Iltis would not be very proud, but since then I've actually bothered to work out the probabilistic likelihood of each in an exhaustive and theoretic way. I can send you the proof if you want ;). Funny thing is, I remember having the same reaction that that didn't explain it, but enough people reiterated it when I asked I stopped thinking and just started restating. But anyway, there's something much more sinister about the gender divide. Also a lesson that you can't believe everything that a Chinese citizen says about China, as I've noted on occasions when : people convinced me to go to Tiananmen Square on National Day (extreme crowds/could not move/etc), people told me I'd be able to upgrade to a bed on my train from Xi'an (yeah, no...), people told me the inhabitants of Xinjiang province (self-governing) could and have killed people in China and cannot be punished...
