Watson's original statement seems like yet another attempt to take bell curves (of IQ vs race in this case) and treat them like delta functions. Reminds me of ability vs age arguments in some YC threads.
- falsestprophet 19y agoI don't think that anyone is about to confuse a bell curve with a delta function.
- DocSavage 19y agoThey do it everytime they make blanket statements like one race is more intelligent than another or people at 20 solve problems better than people at 50.
