I wondered how long it would take for somebody to make the point that
there really is no such thing as intelligence. How about doing me a
favor, folks? Put that particular argument under a different thread

intelligence and are interested in discussing its presence on the X
chromosome will have to wade through debate regarding this other issue.
Thanks.
