I believe empirical evidence does support this. We could discuss at length how strong the effect is, but I don't think claiming no such effect exists is tenable

I believe empirical evidence does support this. We could discuss at length how strong the effect is, but I don't think claiming no such effect exists is tenable, when you take into account e.g. the well-known correlation with education.

> I don't think claiming no such effect exists is tenable I was too loose in the language of my last comment. I don't think that there is zero such effect. I think the effect is small enough to not be a significant factor. I've tried to include enough qualifiers (such as "broadly") to indicate that. > the well-known correlation with education. If you're saying that there's a significant correlation between education and income, I'll agree with that. But we've been talking about intelligence, not education.
