- Alex3917 11y agoFor what it's worth, this article makes the exact same math mistakes that the article discusses. I.e. the phrase "an IQ 20+ points greater causes reduced credibility" doesn't even make any sense, since a point isn't a fixed interval. (I might not have an IQ of 150+, but I can spot the same pattern 30 seconds later.)
