Oh, you mean there's the possibility that Steve Sailer might have simply gotten more lucky in regards to this by talking less about IQ than Anatoly Karlin has?

Statistical uncertainty, standard error, margin of error, etc. call it what you will. If you see a party go up 2% in a poll, do you offer explanations? No, you check whether it's likely just a random fluke first. Same with these data.
OK. Also, the reason that I initially didn't think about margin of error is because I presumed that they looked at *all* intelligence-related articles from each source. That said, though, I don't know if this is actually the case. If they took a random sample, then I'm wrong.
This is a poll of experts, not a study of content. Each expert was asked to rate a list of media for accuracy on their expertise topic.
