No By "co-incide (ent)" I mean that they co-incide, the whole point of the sentence is that I'm choosing not to offer a cause or effect. Your sentence sets "coincidence" as a cause in it'self which is just plain wierd.
As to literacy rates, your example is tautologous and silly, clearly you cant read something that isn't there, I suspect this was clear to you at the time of writing. Literacy, I would say is a function of communication/comprehension. Presumably one could have measured storytelling/singing abilities in some fashion and plotted eduactional trends in pre-literate cultures but did the quality of the message improve when we started writing it down? Evidence??? Platt's soufle remains deicdedly saggy for my liking, but I appreciate his skill with the whisk on this particular occasion.
