It seems to me this is just a way to say that men are taller than women...

No, no the fascinating bit is that IQ tests, if I recall properly, where set up with the definition that both sexes average IQ's are identical. I don't know where the 3 to 5 point gap comes from. Yeah the article says height, but like they point out men are taller than women on average. Isn't this like designing a test that correlates with testosterone and for decades keeps saying that most testing shows women do equally well on average but then suddenly new recent r. establishes this not to be the case.

Sure...my comment wasn't serious.

This is apolyton everything is deadly serious and completley silly at the same time.
