Bill,
I'm simply saying the "half of marriages end in
divorce" based on (say) 100,000 are wed and 50,000 are divorced
is wrong.
That's all. It's another statistic with the credibility
of the GNP, or import/export figures - in other words, no credibility at
all.

in incidence of divorce which would be the 50% in your definition. The fact that
someone may get divorced three times out of three and someone never gets
divorced would give a divorce rate of 75% but again, only half of the two people
divorced.
