Well, I agree, but "mere" probably isn't a sensationalist enough way to describe a 7 point drop in IQ.
Okay, I agree, maybe that was pushing it a little.
Honestly, so long as the drop is due to lower-IQ people arriving rather than higher-IQ people leaving, I can't see why it's such a big deal -- especially if the “new” people mostly just lurk. Now, if the average IQ of only the people with > 100 karma in the last 30 days was also dropping with time...
