It's interesting how one can read the excerpt in two different ways:

1. "wow, IQ isn't all it's cracked up to be, look at how none of the sample won Nobels but two rejected did"
2. "wow, in this tiny sample of a few hundred kids, they used a test which was so accurate in predicting future accomplishment that if the sample had been just a little bit bigger, it would have picked up two future Nobels - people whose level of accomplishment are literally one in millions, and it does this by only posing some boring puzzles without once looking at SES, personality, location, parents, interests, etc!"
