 The author of “The Bell Curve Flattened” disagrees with Murray and Herrnstein’s assertions that:
The Bell Curve Flattened Charles Murray is a publicity genius, and the publication of his and Richard Herrnstein's book, The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life , in the fall of 1994 was his masterpiece. Herrnstein and Murray didn't do this, so it wasn't until a full year or more after The Bell Curve was published that the leading experts on its subject had a chance to go through the underlying data with care. Thus, by the end of their introduction, they have arranged matters so that if intelligence has any meaning at all, the idiotic liberals stand discredited; and meanwhile, extremely broad claims for intelligence have the cover of "consensus."
 IQ has more predictive power on success than parental socio-economics status.
 IQ has more predictive power on success than parental socio-economics status.  Education can increase opportunity.  There is consensus that intelligence is a meaningless concept.  Power and success are open to one and all on the basis of merit.
