Comment on yay, no dunning kruger for me! hold up, oh no
What do you mean, “overestimating”?
Well, you claimed that children of parents with higher IQ have more successful children.
I pointed out that this is largely due to social factors, to which you replied a non sequitur about how intelligence has a genetic component.
From that, a reasonable person would assume that you believe that genetics is a major component of IQ, and not just a small contributing factor.
That wasn’t my first claim. My first claim was that IQ predicts success.
Then I went here because you brought up parents.
When I specifically said it’s not clear how big of a factor it is. So no, I don’t think a reasonable person would assume that.
