Why YSK: because what seems like equal situation from surface isn’t always equal opportunity for all. And even when equal measure of help is provided, it might not be equally useful.

    Thanks for the benefit of the doubt I guess.

    I think I will stay at my own conclusion that this picture doesn’t do a good job of pointing out the differences between the panels.

    They could just as easily have given the left child the ladder from panel 1 on. That would show that just equalizing the tools and assistance doesn’t create real justice in a flawed system.
    I am not convinced that starting with no tools and assistance (aside from the tree that somehow is assistance in panel 1 and isn’t in panel 2) and then giving them both the same ladder makes that point very well.

    But maybe I still just don’t quite get it.
