"look at this 0.2 sigma diff! ignore the fact that there's a 2 sigma difference with genpop tho lol" this woman has done more damage to data science than almost anyone that's not a fascist leader

literally talked about the big diff from population in the next tweets, you're deliberately ignoring context so you can make fun of me. this is bad and you should feel bad.

I just cannot imaging reacting to these numbers with anything other than “no gender difference is visible in this data”

there's a small difference, 2-3 point difference is mildly interesting to me

IQ difference of 2 to 3 is not really statistically significant, it'll be almost impossible to find a difference in capacity of people with that small difference.

it is statistically significant given the sample size. it wouldn't be significant on most smaller sample sizes that are more common in academic research though, you might be calibrated on that.
You're right, the sample size does reduce the margin of error. But I think that's more relevant for samples with proper randomness (with little to no bias(High-IQ selection bias you observed)), that can be seen in them maintaining their statistical measures like the mean.

12* is a very high average. Did you in any way verify this data?

what statistical tests did you use? did you assume normality?
