...has to do with the study or with what I said in my post.
Has it really been shown that growing up in poverty causes one to be poor? Or do you mean that there's a higher probability of your being poor if you were raised poor? If the latter (and if it has been shown experimentally), then the answer to your question is "probably not".
Poverty decline/wealth increase - dunno. I don't really care what you call it.
"IMO it's not irrelevant because bias trumps fairness." If you design the experiment fairly, then it will *disprove* your biased hypothesis, if it is not true. That is the definition of fair.
There is even a body of experiments that are designed with hypotheses that the experimenters do *not* think to be true. But the experimenters found value in knowing/showing for sure one way or the other.
