The way that you slipped easily between intelligence and IQ is exactly the dangerous fuzziness that I was referring to.

I won't vote you down, but if you reread my comment you will see that I never used the word "intelligence" at all. I was trying to see how strongly you believe that race is too fuzzy a concept to include in predictive theories (nothing about intelligence per se).

This is true, but it appears the problem was that you responded to a discussion about intelligence by talking about IQ.

No I didn't. The comment I responded to said this:

Is IQ strongly correlated to self-identified race?

This is about IQ and Race, which is exactly what my reply was about.
