If Jormungandr is "skeptical of the claim that there are inherent differences in intelligence", what exactly is he objecting to?
As far as I can tell she was pointing out that the basis of your argument in post #31 tried to discredit the researchers rather than point out the flaws in the research. This was a little unfair of her because you did also put in bold sentences such as how the research was not properly peer reviewed and lacked scientific rigour. But I think she can be excused because no one actually expects you to make good points so it is easy to miss when you do.
I personally feel that it is worthwhile considering the bias of the researchers but it only serves as a hint as to what they are deliberately ignoring if they are clearly biased. The bias is not itself reason to dismiss the evidence and I think that was Jor's point. Science works by providing evidence. And if you suspect that a study is biased then you have good reason to look for and expect to find counter-evidence to refute it.
