The optimal mix of intelligence and ability to make use of intelligence.

You just shifted all the meaning to the word "optimal".

Optimal when maximizing for what?

No I did not.

If James_Miller meant 'genetic basis of intelligence' (and I think he did) then I am pointing out that that may not be predictive of actual intelligence when measured in the real world after development. You could just as well say I'm 'optimizing for intelligence'. I am simply making it clear that I'm not optimizing for at-birth intelligence.

I still don't understand you.

Is there any measurable value that you are optimizing for? What is it?
