Inconsistent logic

In the past, I've liked Tom Sowell's columns, particularly the random thoughts on a passing scene. But as he gets older, there's a little more crankiness. And then there's this week's RToaPS, in which he writes:

One of the painful signs of years of dumbed-down education is how many people are unable to make a coherent argument. They can vent their emotions, question other people's motives, make bold assertions, repeat slogans-- anything except reason.

and a couple of paragraphs later:

A recent study showed the median income of major corporate CEOs to be about $8 million a year. That's less than a third of what Alex Rodriguez earns and less than one-thirtieth of what Oprah Winfrey makes. But no one is denouncing them for "greed."

Come on Tom! That's terrible reason and logic, comparing the median CEO to the outliers in their profession. Bah.
