    And what if I called a rose a stinkweed?

    I think it’s a completely valid criticism, and I agree with the critism.

    I just think semantic hang-ups are really… Exhausting and of minimal value. Terrible ratio.

    Extend the principle of charity, hurdle it, then get to the meat.

      My issue is not with its name!

      The companies still are trying to sell IQ test off as objective measurement of intelligence and overwhelming measurement of the population believes it to be so!

        People want to treat the test themselves as neutral when they never have been. They were made with an agenda in mind and acting like what they measure isnt impacted like that seems strange.
