I love that we have to study something so incredibly obvious.
The majority of people will say that if you give a homeless person a thousand dollars, they'll use it on drugs. This data is there to dispute that objection, despite it being obvious to you
Whereas, if you give a rich kid $1000, they probably will spend it on drugs.
