I think the problem stems from media reporting which sensationalizes the issue and from scientists who make more outlandish claims to get more recognition. It is quite annoying, but it is difficult to spread information to the masses in any other way.

Are you serious? The default position in the media and academia today is that everyone is equal and that differences are 100% environmental.

I was referring to the problem that the public is not aware of the methodological limitations of certain studies. Basically that the actual conclusions of science are quite often overstated and sensationalized to sell to the masses.
