-Serenity- Posted August 12, 2005 Oh Haddad, you hopeless pedant! Stop referring to me as 'someone' horta. :rolleyes: Now check this out (from you link): Fact: The range of consanguinity in Saudi Arabia is between 34 to 80+ percent. A study has been done on birth defects resulting from consanguineous marriages in this country The 26million comes from here. The population of KSA. 34 - 80 % really isnt much to go on, is it? So I used the results from the sample to apply to the entire population. Now any1 with a little commonsense can understand its not accurate down to pat... but it serves the point I was trying to put across. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haddad Posted August 12, 2005 Originally posted by 7 0f Nine: Stop referring to me as 'someone' horta. What's your designation if you're not 'someone'? between 34 to 80+ percent. 34 to 80+ confirms 52% of the actual study done. 34 - 80 % really isnt much to go on, is it? So I used the results from the sample to apply to the entire population. Despite your fuzzy calculation, even if you're correct, my contention is 40% of all Saudi marriages aren't first cousin related; some are second (or further distant) cousin related.

-Serenity- Posted August 12, 2005 The designation is Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix Zero One... if thats too long for you, 7 will do Despite your fuzzy calculation, even if you're correct, my contention is 40% of all Saudi marriages aren't first cousin related; some are second (or further distant) cousin related. We are talking about fact, not opinions dear. Unless you've gone out and done research, your 'contention' is grossly erroneous and...dare I call your attitude .. layman-ish?

Haddad Posted August 12, 2005 Originally posted by 7 0f Nine: We are talking about fact, not opinions... The fact talks about 52.0%, and 39.3% out of the 52.0%. Your opinion talks about 40% of 26,000,000. Hopeful, that would help the efficiency of an ex-Borg whose reasonings are getting entangled with emotions.

-Serenity- Posted August 12, 2005 What are like? Read dear...read! First-cousin marriages were the commonest (39.3%) of all matings. Now how did you come to the conclusion its "39.3% out of the 52.0%." Rounding 39.3 to 40 Haddad. Oh I give up. This is pointless. :mad: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haddad Posted August 12, 2005 Originally posted by 7 0f Nine: Now how did you come to the conclusion its " 39.3% out of the 52.0% ." For inclusion in the study a wife must have at least one pregnancy that terminated in either full term liveborn baby, still birth, or abortion. A total of 1307 ever-married Saudis completed a pre-structured questionnaire during an interview. The rate of consanguineous marriage was 52.0% with an average inbreeding coefficient of 0.0312. First-cousin marriages were the commonest (39.3%) of all matings. Rounding 39.3 to 40 No wonder, the ex-Borg is becoming more human, less precise & efficient.
