| Topic | Do you believe some races are naturally more intelligent than others? |

Idk what I'm not getting man, it still seems like you're saying that the tests did not get an accurate cross section of the population for the test results to be valid. And Idk what you meant by "statistically significant intelligence" Sorry, I rewrote part of that sentence but didn't make the rest agree. "should have higher intelligence (with statistical significance)". You're still obviously not getting it. And that's fine, it's not Stats 101. But I'll repeat again. Your population should be treated as a sample coming from a distribution, not as a summary of the data. nicklebro posted... This however, is absolutely false. Ask any scientist or any statistician or anyone with any degree of logical thinking and they'll tell you that the likelhood that m_a=m_b is incredibly small. As in act of god small. For that many variables to all come together and equal each other is crazy to believe. I have a PhD in Mathematics. I am a scientist/statistician and I'm advising you to look up "hypothesis testing" if you think that statisticians believe that the chance of two latent means being the same is act of god small. Again you don't seem to understand that things with the EXACT SAME DISTRIBUTION will have samples with different sample means and sample distributions. You're trying to make an argument akin to "We both pick a random real number between 0 and 1, the chance that we pick the same number is 0", but that's not at all what I'm arguing against and not at all how statisticians treat this sort of thing. And as @COVxy was saying, at best your argument is a dumb continuous random variable argument and at worst you just don't understand anything about statistics outside of calculating simple statistics of a sample. --- ...
