I happen to admire and respect S.J.Gould - he would NEVER try to claim
that his opinions were true because they were his opinions.  He does
not claim that IQ doesn't exist - he tries to show evidence to that
effect; in an attempt to get the reader to believe, as he does, that
it does not exist.  Do you see the difference?
