I agree it's extremely important to recognize that heritability is a thing and that intelligence testing has very strong reliability and validity properties…this is increasingly recognized among policymakers. That does not extend to claims about group differences.

was 'gloomy prospect' his idea too, or would you credit Plomin for that, and Turkheimer just ran a 'yes, actually' with it?

yes, I still recall the "top ten replicated findings in behavior genetics" saying constant critics were one of the reasons the field is as solid as it is :P

Condensed matter physics must suffer a lot from not having any ideological enemies. Think of all the crap that must get through.

On the other hand, the mean IQ of the field's players is 10-20 above that for psychology.
-
Mean honesty may matter more. Physicists are known for not stealing change off the bar.

Or autism. I know a lot of hard-nosed IQ people and autism scores are much higher there than in normie psychologists. This is also true for physicists. High autism people look at the data and ignore feelings and supposed social implications.

I thought his 1991 paper here was excellent even though it is mostly just an expansion on Jensen's work from the 1970s (perhaps unknown to him at submission). http://people.virginia.edu/~ent3c/papers2/Articles%20for%20Online%20CV/(70)%20Turkheimer%20(1991).pdf …
