Query: Attacking a Straw Man

This book does a fine job of dispelling the view the genes solely determine cognitive ability. The problem is that virtually no researchers in the fields of differntial psychology or psychometrics are arguing this position. According to respected experts (e.g., Thomas Bouchard, Arthur Jensen, and Linda Gottfredson), the answer to the question "nature or nurture?" is nature and nurture. The available evidence indicates that both play an important role. The authors of this book are therefore attacking a straw man for ideological reasons.The critique of this issue in Hernstein's and Murray's "The Bell Curve" is much more valuable for anyone with an open mind. But if you've already been baptized into the cult of egalitarianism, read and enjoy.
