I guess it was the findings of those other people he used then - like people do 99% of the time in academics, I fail to see the significance of the question? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

The simplicity of the situation is that some professor finds some body of work convincing. If someone asks him about that issue, it looks to me like you're saying he shouldn't be allowed to tell the truth.

First of all, his opinion here is not truth - there is no solid enough finding to claim this is truth. First you would have to a generalizable intelligence test, then you would have to have a strict definition of intelligence and then you would have to academic agreement on that term.

So what he stated was his opinion - and knowing he is an authority on the subject he should know what may fall, I don't deny him to the right to say what he feels like but neither do I feel any remorse that he pays the price.
