the problem here was that I thought IQ was normally distributed. I'm changing my stance now, after seeing how easily gigantism and dwarfism fuck up the distribution of human height, which might otherwise be normally distributed but is obviously not, since the tallest man in the world was 9.275 standard deviations out. Obviously we're not gonna get a 1 in 10 quintillion guy. I expect IQ to have confounding variables in the same way, making it not normally distributed. -.-
