Moral: There are plenty of other things, besides lead,
that significantly affect a person's IQ, that are also
rather difficult to control [for].

Most importantly... An IQ test measures one thing -- the ability to take an
IQ test.

I can get away saying that, because I consistently score in the 99th
percentile.

So instead of saying "Oh, you're so smart!" we should say "What a great
IQ test-taker you are"?
