Agreed, but where you fall on that spectrum implicitly shapes the policy recommendations which, at the end of the day, are the most societally important consequences of this field. I think at least estimating your place on that spectrum is an important exercise.
But Murray's key point in Bell Curve was that most policy issues about IQ don't really depend on the nature/nurture issue; he stayed resolutely agnostic about it, even as he made policy recommendations. It might be a red herring, for current purposes.

I’m no expert in the field. I would have thought the nature/nurture issue would have profound implications for how policy should be shaped. Any recommendations on what to look at when determining what should be key considerations for shaping policy?

A key issue is, given that IQ varies between people, and is stable and predictive of outcomes and learning abilities, how should American education deal with cognitive variation? More streaming? More testing? Different teaching styles? Better vocational education? School choice?
