Sure you did buddy. Sure you did. The whole idea of the SAT was an expansive control of capital when the USA grew too large for word-of-mouth recommendation systems.

But you knew that too right? You also knew that it was basically designed to keep undesirables out of the capital class too, right? Guess who those people were.

Clearly this argument is spiraling away from the original premise of whether IQ pseudoscientific into what feels like a flamewar. There are a couple of HN guidelines that try to keep that from happening that I think would have helped prevent this.

> Please don't post shallow dismissals

> Please don't comment on whether someone read an article
