Fine. I think the prior should be it's genetic. You (I think) think it shouldn't. I think we can probably leave it there. Just to be crystal clear what I mean

Fine. I think the prior should be it's genetic. You (I think) think it shouldn't. I think we can probably leave it there.
Just to be crystal clear what I mean by "prior": I'm talking about the null hypothesis. So, if you were an ancient Greek studying physics, the prior should be that gravity is a force/acceleration pointing downward, not upward. Yes, someone could argue gravity points upward, but such a claim would require evidence. Arguing it points downward imposes no such requirement, because it's obvious to any casual observer. IQ is obviously genetic, because cats have lower IQs than humans and cats have significantly different genetics than humans.
