Modern paraphrase of Matthew’s from the mouths of babes If the kid has not heard or remembered the ratio of dry land to water, then that reasoning is sound and the conclusion correct. If the kid were asked how to preserve the earth I bet those conclusions would be just as succinct and sensible.
Actually, drawing a whole comic strip episode to point out that an awful lot of studies seem to exhibit what one of my professors liked to call “a profound grasp of the obvious” may itself be a dubious process to arrive at what we already know.
