Not shooting the messenger, shooting their methodology.

What a funny thread. Starts out by saying

I have encountered research by several reputed scientists that says that the mean IQ's of different races are different

Turns out that's true, except their reputed to be racists who did their research for hate groups.

Then you have all the forum members making up high IQ scores for themselves, who never even say which type of IQ test they took, and often times give scores which aren't even measured up to on standard IQ tests, but they think it's what sounds like a high IQ.

What point are you trying to make Jormungandr?

That there is plenty of shooting the messenger, aka ad hominem, in your reply. Of what relevance is the nature of the Pioneer Fund to the question of whether their conclusions are justified or not?

I'm sorry to say but i gotta side Huggie and Capt here. Their collective works are shit . And yes their motivations to do the research matter.

Yeah, except they already questioned the methodology. So that's only true if their entire argument boils down to "It's not true cause they are racists."

Of course that's not what is being said. What's being said is that they are using poor methodology and arguments and they are funded by racists, which would explain why their errors skew towards their opinions.
