You are confusing measurement with recognition...and in case of nature it is not even that, more like all things being equal, the idiots eventually do something to perish, but of course all things are never equal, or we'd be considering insects more intelligent than humans (given their survival and all).

BTW, did you see the table of votes for Bush vs IQ? May be DSP science works the same way in political science too <vbg> BTW, in case you missed it, I modified my post on the costs of war...that analysis from a woman nonetheless <g> ST >> That looks like the downfall of democracy. The electorate can't detect intelligence in somebody more than half as stupid as they are according to your theory.

"I suspect women are capable of measuring intelligence too, even without written tests, and they have been driving intelligence for millennia by selecting males with smarts." I think exactly the opposite. I think women, programmed by hundreds of thousands of years of the right decision being to choose the biggest and most protective being the correct male to copulate with, continue to do so. It's only very recently in evolutionary time that this hasn't been the correct decision, and their glandular systems haven't yet evolved to get warm and runny for geeky intelligence.
