Funny how the only people to make that argument tend to be people who don't want to believe the beliefs in question, but have out of ways to ignore the evidence.

I, for one, do believe that the average African has lower IQ than the average European but don't go around telling that to the wrong people.

On a less meta level: what kind of "misunderstand and misuse" do you think is going to "predictably" happen.

Underestimating how much the evidence race provides about an individual's IQ can be screened off by other evidence about the individual, due to the confirmation bias and similar.
