Looks like folks on Tobacco Road have a major diaper rash today.

Yep, "THEY reported wealth to be the strongest correlation with IQ data that their study turned up."

It is common, but deceptive argumentation, to imply that correlation is cause-effect; and "conclude" such nonsense, as in this case, that denial of the fruits of productivity causes the low IQ scores of the poor -- environmental exposure is perhaps a better position. Either way we should recognize such argumentation as that old Lamarckian based evolutionary logic -- inheritance of acquired characteristics -- popular in the Communist philosophical model.

One would sooner argue for genetics as a common etiology shared by both wealth and Intelligence. A pine seed planted in an oak grove still produces a pine tree.

The horse has died the point is made.
