Your first sentence can't be true. "More than half of all Americans could pay for college without a loan?"

The article only says that 55% of people who got a bachelor's degree didn't need a loan. That's called a self-selected group, and it's NOT representative of "all Americans."

@2. No, it's not pedantic. and Reymont's counter point is totally valid. the leading statement is misleading.
