      Another disgracefully smear-filled--not to mention factually sloppy--review of a genetics book from Nathaniel Comfort. Why do Nature keep asking this guy to write for them?https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-06784-5 …

      I mean, look at this 100% flatly, objectively incorrect assertion (in reality, only a small % of the TEDS sample went to grammar school, because the sample is fairly representative of the UK). Is nobody fact-checking this stuff? At *Nature*?!pic.twitter.com/pY7ieALnRD

      Nature isn't what it used to be. The whole review is scandalous. Who is Nathaniel Comfort?

          Picolo Martin Retweeted strategy consultant

          What he says is true, Plomin is biased and untrustworthy, he misrepresents biology and his arguments are based on weak science based on correlations and an obsolete reductionist genetic model.https://twitter.com/neoliberal_dad/status/988574378555256832 …

          You heard it from leading IQ scientist Robert Plomin, ladies and gentlemen. Polygenic IQ: 1) 110% legitimate 2) coundounding don’t real 3) does science for you 4) will make you regrow all your hair 5) your wife will come back pic.twitter.com/6NqwccDGcy

          What exactly is wrong with that slide? The only weird one is "causal", but what he means is not that genes -> outcomes without enviro effects, but that outcomes cannot "cause" polygenic scores (a valid argument when it comes to psych traits, for example).

          Replying to @amiguello1 @EnderRaptor and

          Outcomes can't cause polygenic scores but they can spuriously be associated with them, which is why the argument of no possible backward causation as proof of causation is fallacious, unscientific and Plominesque.
