So your conclusion is wrong and you are out on a limb, barking up the wrong tree. Which is not in the slightest surprising.

I suspect the Sun understood the meaning of the sentence better than you did.

One of the ridiculous ideas people have concluded these days, and to which most people subscribe, [or hypocritically say they do], is the blank slate idea of people that we are all the same when born ...

That's not what we were talking about and I certainly didn't make that claim. Are you bringing that up for giggles?

I note the continuing avoidance of the essential question.

I'm not going to guess what you think is the "essential question".

Which doesn't surprise me, or they might find there's an answer to conflict with their mindless, cliche-ridden, dogma-accepting, hide-in-the-flock ideology.

I was hoping you were going to respond to my post with the five links with something of substance supporting your stated notion that all bias has been removed from intelligence tests for decades.

Look at the hassle the Harvard bloke got for stating obvious truth.

I suspect there is more than one Harvard bloke. Are you trying to keep a secret as to which one you're talking about?

I realize you hold two opposing views simultaneously = we are not all the same, but we are; women and men are the same, despite women maturing years younger than males, and despite child development formative years being crucial to the finished product, irretrievably.

Damn. I didn't know that I thought that! I had thought that I believed that we are individuals biologically and by our experiences in our environment. Paternal twins may be biologically the same, but within a few minutes of birth they begin to have subtle experiences which has the affect of individuality. Those subtle differences may not be testable or observable, but the memories and neural pathways that develop are unique. Anyway, that's what I thought I thought. But clearly I thought something else. I'll make a note of it, so I don't forget.
