So how exactly is the reader supposed to interpret this statement of yours:
> So what about the partying, making friends for life, and learning to be an adult?

> What about care-free student life as a carrot to incentivise young adults to go into careers that might not be good for them personally, but good for society?
When someone looks at a study and says "What about $FOO", they generally mean "Why is $FOO not addressed?", and not "Your conclusions about $FOO are wrong".
You said
> "What about $FOO"
but you meant
> "Your $FOO conclusions are wrong"
Is this correct?
No, I did not.
> Whether it is a bad thing or not is irrelevant to the concern you expressed
No, the entire point of me asking about it is because I think it has value to people making educational choices.
> that the socialisation and play is not addressed by the study.
Yes, and the way the study addresses this is batshit insane, unless you are an unfeeling utilitarian robot.
