I got two ideas from that writing: - Is not a good idea to take a single dimensional indicator for a multidimensional capability. I suppose that know about IQs can discuss about that. - That having a high IQ is not a so great predictor on how well you will solve a real world problem. If we define "real world problems" the ones with feedback loops, plenty of noise, and known and unknown unknowns (his field of work) then he may have a point. But that is a subset of the real world problems, and anyway you may have to solve ideal world problems too.
