In reference to your comment on 75 vs 140, I said they were idiots - not mentally handicapped people in a wheelchair.
Take a look at the stock market, or most industries: are the richest people always the smartest people in the company? No.
This is why it's a moot issue to specifically address the IQ point when there are a multitude of other salient factors that account for one's success in poker.
This is a fun thread, why the hostility? Actually I don't get this all, what is your point?

Let's say that these two are the two best players in the world. 1 million guy plays the biggest online limit game and 1k guy works his way up and in no time plays also in the biggest game. Of course the 1 million guy makes more lifetime, beacuse he spent more time in the big game, but the 1k guy also ends up rich. So what's the difference here?
I don't think you understand my savant comment or my comments about IQ. Of course there's more factors, than overall IQ. You have to be strong at those IQ areas that matters in poker + of course there's other factors like work ethic, risk tolerance, tilt control etc.
It might be possible, that you didn't get my point, because of my bad english?
