Hank's razor

"If an effect can be explained by socioeconomic status, it's probably that rather than the thing that you're measuring."

I mean this isn't quite the effect of socioeconomic status as much as it is the effect of removing socioeconomic status from the equation.

So actually yeah it sort of is.
