"Married people have higher net worths and are more likely to be homeowners" - homesless men are more likely to live in a tent, so the first step to get out of poverty is to stop living in a tent.
This general reasoning error (or purposeful trick? always hard to tell) is in almost every single news article I come across. Almost every car accident happens close to home between sober drivers, so I always make sure to be far from home and very drunk when I drive
And the chance of finding two bombs on the same plane is next to zero. Therefore, I always carry a bomb on the plane when i board!
I don't get what you're saying here. Of course married individuals are more likely to be homeowners because they are far more likely to be dual income.
Or they are married because they were rich enough to get married
