Why I don't find many of these types of articles interesting isn't because of the supposedly provocative genetic part, but of the glossed over results. They look at something like grades and then try to find a link between those grades and genetics. Eventually they do and conclude that there is a link between genetics and grades. But they don't consider if those genetics or grades are important in themselves. Which is why these sort of studies tends to not survive real comparisons e.g. between groups with different norms.
Even so I think the largest flaw tend to be in the final conclusion. Which is essentially always about how we should treat less fortune people. They day such an article conclude that we need to shut down private schools and make sure we don't have genetically challanged CEOs I will give them points for being provocative.
