Quite the opposite. The HBD side of this argument is the only one that seems to have the remotest understanding of what a confounding factor is.

If they have one that precludes controlling for SES then their understanding is pretty eclectic, to say the least. Incompatible with the one used in the sciences.

don't you understand, the sciences are BAD bc they treat SES as a confounding factor rather than something that needs to be explained away in the name of [squints] political neutrality

The dogmatic assumption that SES is a genetically independent variable IS leftism.

Nick, controlling for SES (or any other factor) is not a "dogmatic assumption". It is a necessary part of producing a valid empirical study.

Bullshit. You can't control for the impact of the thing you're trying to examine without making that thing disappear.

They can be disentangled. It's just that there are extraordinarily rich opportunities for sophistry in doing so.
