The more one reads about IQ from serious statisticians, the worse the story of modern psychology becomes.
There is a "pseudoscientific tradition" of statistics wherein one assumes systems are linear, one uses only linear models, and wherein one reports only associations on non-experimental conditions. This tradition was invented by psychologists, for psychology, and it's had horrific ethical consequences. I'd go so far to say that any system or results obtained by this method should now, a priori, be regarded as pseudoscience and should require a massive cross-disciplinary consensus to be regarded otherwise.
