Ron,
You pays you money, you takes you choice.
Is IQ analytical ability? Stupid question. Obvious answer. IQ is NOT
analytical ability. It is a measure of your performance on a particular
kind of test where he questions on this kind of test require analytical
ability to solve. QED
If your performance results on this kind of test go down in a pretty much
linear fashion with depth (which they did), something is causing the
degradation in performance. Maybe its the psychic influence of the deep
sea life. Perhaps its the lack of psychic influence of your fellow humans
-
it being blanked out by the water. Maybe your analytical ability is being
eroded by the consumption of a narcotic like Nitrogen under pressure
If you wish to cry and moan about 'environmental factors' or 'race factors'
or 'gender factors' in the results go ahead - it didn't matter. That would
matter if you were comparing the groups together. Instead, what was being
compared was delta change in individual results with depth - and they were
constant with the population tested.
So, what do YOU consider to be analytical ability? Your ability to drive
on n 6packs of beer?
