No, the definition of "eugenics" is the arrangement of human reproduction to maximize desired traits.

The g factor is highly heritable, and countless academic works and studies establish it as such, well beyond any reasonable doubt.

So if intelligence is inherited, then children of geniuses should be uber-geniuses. And if intelligence is a desired trait, then people can breed for that. And that's eugenics, so I believe you're agreeing with me.
