Comment on What is missing from rationality?

This is the bit that I think is important when discussing results about intelligence:

We use the term general intelligence to mean the ability to use combinations of preexisting knowledge and abstract reasoning to solve any of a variety of problems designed to assess the extent to which individuals can benefit from instruction or the amount of instruction necessary to attain a given level of competence.

However, I'm not saying you need to include this information in your comment because you already made the context specific: the Deary study. So a person can dig deeper and find these details if they want to.

Even so, greater male variability is a robust finding.

Just to say, you didn't actually support this. Unless it is supported in the Dreary study?
