Neither are greater than the other. DUH.

I'm sure we all know the concept of averages, just that you like to use a biased sample to improve your statistic. Oh and I love the way you think that because you took a logic class and think that the rest of us are pathetic, but remember you are the one that comes up with ignorant statements. Much good logic will do when majority of what is said is not true.

Look the sun comes up from the North and sets in the south. Much good using logic that will do to prove that that's true.

Cool

I think you need to seriously consider your definition of the word fact. A 'fact' is something testable - not just your prediction (that's well before 'conclusion' in the scientific process), but something that has already been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.




Golly - this thread has certainly generated an opinion or two, after I thought the subject was a well beaten dead horse months ago.

I'm again bleary eyed trying to keep up. Conclusion - there will never be consensus, so let's all get drunk.

One thing first, though. DEFINITIONS.

I'm sure back there on page 2, 3 or 6 someone attempted to define "intelligence". I guess we're going to pursue the western world's defination of it, which usually means we must "test" for it, calculate it, publish it & call it IQ. If IQ implies an inate ability to achieve in ALL measurable categories, then Rob's contentions could prove correct - sort of.

Is "common sense" intelligence? Is lack of common sense stupidity? Is a dyslexic astrophysisist a moron? 30 years ago he would have been relegated to the school's dummy section, & taught janitorial skills 101. Point being we can't really nail this argument, because the criteria for measurement change with the psychobabble de joir (du joir?) Pardon my bad French - I'm a victim of '50s education.

Ron (I may be ignorant, but I'm fat).

Yep, you guys are all right, my experience with mac and PC users hadn't really happened, it was a figment of my overly active imagination.

Can we lock this topic now? It needs to die.
