But it is much sounder to recognize that policy proposals
always are rooted in ideology, and that we can use the
same research to justify an entirely different set of
policies!

"IQ" for individuals, this measure shows
persistence across repeated testing, and this measure appears
to be correlated with economic "success" in our current
institutional environment. This suggests that we need to
construct institutions that lead to a lower correlation between

Of course not. It means poverty is determined by a variety of
factors (all of which deserve mitigation and no one of which
is either necessary or sufficient).
--Alan G. Isaac
Exactly. Therefore if we discover a correlation in the current
institutional environment between what you are calling "IQ"
or "abstract intelligence" and economic prospects, doesn't
this suggest the need for mitigating institutions?

To slink off to the private sector is no educational policy,

family, and is ethically justifiable as such.
