I believe the author confuses correlation with causation in this article. For example, the author suggests that being nocturnal is a trait of intelligent people... but really, it could just be that intelligent people tend to be on the computer more and thus sleep later due to the constant light hitting their eyes and messing with their circadian rhythm.
