Good Grief! Are people still taking "IQ" seriously? It was demonstrated decades ago that the very notion of IQ was BS!

IQ measures academic potential, NOT intelligence per se. So, you sometimes get arguments that persons of a low IQ should not receive severe criminal punishments (such as the death penalty), but I am not sure those arguments work.
