It’s more that gains from higher g factor beyond +3 SD seem to be minimal/nonexistent in commerce, politics, etc.
Hard science research and cognitive sports are domains in which the most successful seem to be above +3 SD g factor.
I’m not compelled by the small sample size objection because there are actually domains in which the most successful are on average > +3 SD g factor. Those domains just aren’t commerce/politics/other routes of obtaining power.
As best as I can tell, your reply seems like a misunderstanding of my objection?
