<That proposition has more intuitive appeal to me [because I'm ignorant of the stats] than the proposition Mq was advancing.>

C2, that was part of what I wrote. It seems that your reading was too fast. The stats are there for you to read.

<I think intelligence is related in great measure to the environment in which the child is raised and the stimulation he receives during childhoold. >

The main determinant of intelligence is DNA. Given a particular DNA, the infant can then be harmed by deficiencies of various nutrients and toxicities by various poisons [lead, mercury, carbon monoxide cutting the mother's oxygen supply].

You can give all the stimulation to a chimp infant that you like and it won't do Fourier transforms for you. You can do all the stimulation you like for a lot of humans and you'll not be able to get them doing it either.
