That's nonsense. I know at least 50 people with 1400+ SATs (on a 1600 scale) and only one of them is really into classical.

That statistic is wrong on so many levels. In particular, SAT scores correlate to the level of education, which correlates to the wealth of the family, the area they live and, therefore, the music they would be exposed to.

Which only confirms the correlation. The author clearly points out he does not intend any causation.

I'd say then that 'musicthatmakesyoudumb' was a poor choice of domain name.

It seems pretty sarcastic.
Those statistics are nonsense! Check out my anecdotes!
