Minor point-- if you want links to look nice in articles, you need to use html rather than the markdown which is what works in comments. I don't know whether putting up with this is a sign that we're unusually intelligent.
Ahh. For some reason, I was convinced that the link worked before I edited my post, during the process of which I didn't touch the link. So I just left it there, out of frustration, it was clickable anyway. Fixed.
Maybe HTML does suggest something about LW's IQ, but it is not really useful, given the current evidence we have so far. The way I interpret it, it says that the average IQ is probably over 110-120 (no upper limit), with a quite weak reliability. Even if we don't take into account that 20-70% of the users know programming (many people don't study computer science, but still use programming).
I was making something of a joke. Are we smart because we are mostly able to handle a system which requires both markup and html, or are we stupid because we put up with it?
