You completely lost me. We weren't discussing the median skilled wage, we were discussing the median wage. The median wage is the median of all wages.

Trying to redefine words in the middle of an argument strikes me as dishonest.



I didn't redefine anything. I pointed out that the "median wage of all wages" does not add anything in the discussion when we're talking about skilled labor. Trying to compare skilled labor wages to all labor wages of course is going to make it seem like the skilled labor is getting paid too much. That's what's dishonest.
