So? What are you going to do with that information?

What's a better way of figuring out if someone is good at math: give them a math test? Or look up their ancestry?

I didn't claim an immediate and obvious use for this info, I merely claimed that it was a true statement rather than a bias.

Is it a statement that will always be true, and that has always been true? If it may not be continuously true temporarily, can it still be described as a fact?
