Good point. Assuming that was what I was saying is another type of fallacy. I understand why you'd want to have intelligent kids. All else equal, it is clearly an advantage in some respects. But personally, I see no correlation between happiness and intelligence (even inversely as you suggest). I just find it peculiar that this collectively interests us. I spend a lot of time as a parent trying to teach my children that personal happiness is independent of what other people tell you about yourself. And here we are telling children how great they are. I dunno, life is weird :)
