I've known Arthur to comment with some asperity in the direction of those of whom he disapproves, but I haven't seen any lying yet.

I may have lost track of which Scott you're referring to, but I have never assumed that because Scott Summers became leader of the X-Men he must be a eugenicist.

One can certainly argue that it's an offhand remark that doesn't represent his considered opinion or a sort of semi-joking bon mot. If he didn't have much other eugenics in his work, I'd certainly let it pass as perhaps ill-considered.

You could argue that if the ENTIRE EARNEST BLOG POST the comment is talking about weren't Scott laying down his theory that poverty is intractable in terms of social policy due to immutable heritable factors
