Notes
- Unterberger, Richie. Allmusic review
gollark: i.e. half the variance is explained by genetics.
gollark: According to this random internet article, IQ is *half* genetic.
gollark: All human social structures, for instance, are important despite not *really* pointing at real things in reality.
gollark: Most things aren't "real objective things" exactly.
gollark: You can measure it. The tests do that. The confidence interval is a bit wide though.
