ok... so why was fischer ahead of the curve , 'give him short memory loss . and he wont be as good', thats pretty much what you're saying
it doesn't have to do with the discussion per se , its just an argument that's flawed..

your opinion is completely irrelevant, it's really all about data.
IQ tests may have their flaws , but since the 1900s that they've been pretty accurate and even more today in being pretty efficient in measuring all types of raw intelligence , and people who think that an IQ test can't measure emotional intelligence , pbb never did one ..
Btw, Nakamura has a 'mildly gifted IQ' of 120, this is way above average , what you find online is not an IQ test he did when he was young , and IQ tends to go up with age
'concept of intelligence is seriously flawed' you lost me there
if you're talking about IQ, there's several examples on google, Einstein , Newton , Darwin, chess..
In science IQ would be what we call a non 'fact', thus smtg better can come out , and we throw the IQ test out the window , its an idea that has not been proven beyond a reason of a doubt that it's 100% accurate , one example , ether idea that was not a fact yet , but needed to exist for light to travel , and it turns out that light travels just fine , so there's really no ether.. IQ has done a very good job , its used in courts to get a better idea about the person they are dealing with.. saying its completely flawed its just a confirmation bias
