It's like you didn't read anything I wrote, and then built your own straw man to argue with.

No, I just pointed out that your absolutist statements look ridiculous.
So just to be clear: you think "it is very likely" or "he might" are absolutist statements?
Is that what you're saying?

No. Look at what I quoted originally.
Individual happiness and being a good parent (which contributes to breaking the cycle) don't necessarily intersect as much as you think, or at least it's based on the individual.
Some people's happiness is only marginally related to how well their kids are doing (as evident by rise in single-parent households), so the 20k may contribute essentially 0 to the long term solution.

If I don't know, then you don't know either. You're taking the other good extreme and presenting is at fact. The reality is somewhere in the middle.
