Nassim Taleb has been criticizing IQ tests lately. In this nice short blog, @JamesPsychol shows that everything Taleb claims is either incoherent, or factually wrong, or pointlessly ad hominem, or already addressed by psychometricians decades ago.http://www.unz.com/jthompson/swanning-about-fooled-by-algebra/ …

Nice blog post, but the ad hominems against Talib and his readers were unnecessary.
Maybe try holding everyone to the same standard of what's ad hominem?

I'm mostly referring to the concluding paragraphs. The ad hominems didn't take away anything from the preceding arguments, and they certainly were much milder than Talib's arguments (as presented in the post).
