As you haven't even bothered to read both of my posts in this thread, I'm not answering you.

I have actually read your posts I even looked up "regression" in wikipedia for disambiguation.
I don't get how that

I don't follow this literature as closely as you do, so I have no idea how much impact this hypothesis has had on recent research, but it appears laughable on its face. As a relatively-informed outsider, I had long ago come to the conclusion that intelligence as measured by IQ had around a 50% genetic component.

follows from that

These are similar numbers to those reported in twin studies and even in simple regressions...

Of course you don't have to answer.

The problem I have with these studies is that there never are two equal enviroments (diet, education, healthcare, family etc.) so that you can make a valid comparison.
