Cool, I agree that the IQ stuff is more controversial, but my guess is mostly downstream of the same left-leaning political forces. Also, yes, it’s very hard to accept substantial genetic differences in a huge number of human traits, but not to accept it for IQ, so in as much as the broader hypothesis here is widely accepted, trying to specifically contradict that on the IQ question seems like an uphill battle (not impossible, of course, weirder taboos have taken ahold in the past).
