While there's a lot of interesting information in your comment to unpack and look further into, I can't help but laugh that you managed to write all of that without answering the main question of the parent comment.

>Even if the statistical tools were developed by eugenicists, does that mean we shouldn’t use them?

I did answer it,

> Those pushing things like correlation to IQ have the same problem as IQ is a non-linear relationship. Are these ideas appropriate to other problems? Yes, correlation and statistical significance are useful tools when applied to the right problems. But they are not appropriate here.

You're right, you did. I must not have linked that 2nd last sentence there to the question.
