Apparently, he overlooked the flaws in that factual comparison. If 10 populants exist in Country A, with 5 being doctors, and Country B has 100 populants with 20 of them being doctors...


That's not a flaw in factual comparison, it's the way percentages work. Yeah, country A may only have 10 people with 5 being doctors, but if Country B had 100 people with 20 being doctors they're still behind because they have more people that could have become doctors but didn't.

Think of the countries like water. If you take 5 gallons of water and fill it with 50% green coloring, it's going to be pretty green. Now, lets say you have 100 gallons. You may put more coloring into it than the first time, but the water won't be as green until you put the same percent.
