Yes, but I'm not sure all of the populations working in cotton fields and sweatshops had such a low average IQ. (And Gould just said “people”, not “innumerable people” or something like that.)
Did you mean innumerate people?
I meant ‘lots of people’, not ‘people who cannot do arithmetic’. looks word up EDIT: Huh, looks like that was the right word after all.
Sorry, then. Your phrasing sounded wrong to me, but I was wrong.
Will you update your post after looking the word up confirms that it means what you thought it did?
I was going to but I forgot to. Thank you.
