I appreciate your saying so. If I may be so bold, I believe I have a better frame for interpreting IQ results when it comes to population studies. IQ tests were initially created to assess pupils' readiness to succeed in the French school system. It was only when transplanted to America that they were used to 'verify' that populations were fundamentally less intelligent.

Such fundamental assessments have been undermined time and again by the fact that population's scores will go up or down with their relative socio economic and cultural success.

If we were to use IQ tests in the spirit in which they were originally created, they could be used to assess whether or not there's a problem that needs to be addressed by society. So when we see a particular population underperforming in IQ tests, we should A) attempt to assess whether or not there is bias in the test itself, and B) understand that we may have discovered a population that is disadvantaged in some way.
