That centrists have middling intelligence, but are the most populous, and far left are impossibly the smartest above others but very rare? I don’t think most people view politics that way.

Problem is there are better ways, more specific ways.

Frankly, in my life experience people with cognitive disabilities don’t need a specific numerical grade, a broader categorization is good. So the IQ metric just doesn’t tell us enough (no indication of specifically how the impairment would be, nor indication about potential other developmental issues that may require accommodation).

Agreed, indicating deficiency requires more nuance than a single score. The only thing IQ by itself has been used to is to either “give up” on a person because low IQ or to falsely elevate a person for being “super smart” and breed obnoxious elitism. Mensa itching to tell folks with a high score on a single test that they are better than everyone else.

They obviously know the reference, but are simply making a point that the broad sentiment toward CEOs would largely be appeased by other, less dramatic means.

If people have their legitimate claims paid in a reasonable time, and weren’t bombarded by gofundmes for people on their own for medical care, then they might be more empathetic toward health industry executives.
