Abstract

Formålet med rapporten »Uddannelse, job og erhvervsudvikling på Fyn« er ifølge forfatternes replik: »beskrivende og ikke hypoteseafprøvende. « Hermed vedgår forfatterne – sikkert ubevidst – at det er helt korrekt, når jeg har anført, at en række statistiske analyser i kapitel 7 og 8 »er ligeså seriøse eller rettere lige så useriøse, som forsøg på at forklare antallet af indgåede ægteskaber i Danmark ud fra antallet af skudte ræve i Finland ville være.« Dette ateoretiske udgangspunkt er måske også årsagen til, at forfatterne – åbenbart i fuld alvor – kan hævde, at estimationer af fejlspecificerede relationer med én forklarende variabel (kapitel 7-problemstillingen) giver mere pålidelige estimationer. Essensen i dette forsvar er jo i realiteten ligeså fornuftig som mandens adfærd i historien om den tabte nøgle. Forespurgt hvorfor han leder efter nøglen under en lysmast, selvom nøglen er tabt i mørket, svarer manden: »Det er jo det eneste sted, jeg kan se.« Dette er en tilsvarende argumentation forfatterne bruger, når de forsvarer, hvorfor de ikke anvender multipel regressionsanalyse.
