IQ tests show there are a greater number of men with very high IQs than women, and scientific ability highly correlates with IQ, so your “basic principle” doesn't hold muster.

Do you have a source for this? How can we be reasonably certain IQ assessments aren't inherently gender-biased? Is IQ directly-correlated to scientific contribution?

Richard Feynman's IQ was famously average though his scientific contributions to society were most certainly not.

Richard Feynman is the exception that proves the rule.
