[고1] 2025년 03월 – 41~42번: 숫자로 사람을 평가하는 것의 한계와 윤리적 문제
Some researchers view spoken languages as incomplete devices for capturing precise differences. They think numbers represent the most neutral language of description. However, when our language of description is changed to numbers, we do not move toward greater accuracy. Numbers are no more appropriate 'pictures of the world' than words, music, or painting. While useful for specific purposes (e.g. census taking, income distribution), they eliminate information of enormous value. For example, the future lives of young students are tied to their scores on national tests. In effect, whether they can continue with their education, where, and at what cost depends importantly on a handful of numbers. These numbers do not account for the quality of schools they have attended, whether they have been tutored, have supportive parents, have test anxiety, and so on. Finally, putting aside the many ways in which statistical results can be manipulated, there are ways in which turning people's lives into numbers is morally insulating. Statistics on crime, homelessness, or the spread of a disease say nothing of people's suffering. We read the statistics as reports on events at a distance, thus allowing us to escape without being disturbed. Statistics are human beings with the tears wiped off. Quantify with caution.

통념 | 일부 연구자들은 구어가 정확한 차이를 포착하는 데 불완전하며, 숫자가 가장 중립적인 묘사 언어라고 본다. | Some researchers view spoken languages as incomplete devices for capturing precise differences. They think numbers represent the most neutral language of description. |
반박 | 그러나 묘사 언어를 숫자로 바꾼다고 해서 더 정확해지지는 않으며, 숫자는 단어, 음악, 그림과 마찬가지로 세계를 표현하는 데 적절하지 않다. | However, when our language of description is changed to numbers, we do not move toward greater accuracy. Numbers are no more appropriate 'pictures of the world' than words, music, or painting. |
예시 | 숫자는 특정 목적(예: 인구 조사, 소득 분포)에는 유용하지만, 중요한 정보를 생략한다. 예를 들어, 학생들의 미래가 국가 시험 점수에 좌우되지만, 이 점수들은 그들이 다닌 학교의 질, 과외 여부, 부모의 지원, 시험 불안 등은 고려하지 않는다. | While useful for specific purposes (e.g., census taking, income distribution), they eliminate information of enormous value. For example, the future lives of young students are tied to their scores on national tests. In effect, whether they can continue with their education, where, and at what cost depends importantly on a handful of numbers. These numbers do not account for the quality of schools they have attended, whether they have been tutored, have supportive parents, have test anxiety, and so on. |
주장 | 통계 결과는 조작될 수 있으며, 사람들의 삶을 숫자로 환원하는 것은 도덕적으로 무감각하게 만든다. 통계는 범죄, 노숙, 질병 확산에 대한 사람들의 고통을 전달하지 못하며, 독자들은 이러한 통계를 거리감 있게 받아들여 방해받지 않고 넘어간다. | Finally, putting aside the many ways in which statistical results can be manipulated, there are ways in which turning people's lives into numbers is morally insulating. Statistics on crime, homelessness, or the spread of a disease say nothing of people's suffering. We read the statistics as reports on events at a distance, thus allowing us to escape without being disturbed. |
결론 | 통계는 눈물을 닦아낸 인간과 같으므로, 숫자화에는 주의가 필요하다. | Statistics are human beings with the tears wiped off. Quantify with caution. |
