It’s a turn of phrase but I don’t actually understand what all things being equal means.
In: 16
> “Hey, would you rather go out for pizza or Chinese?”
> “Well, all other things equal, I’d prefer Chinese.”
What this means is that if there are no other factors considered: distance to the restaurant, price, crowdedness, what other people want to eat, etc etc etc — if all those other factors were held equal — the second speaker would like Chinese food.
