Considerably. It shows almost conclusively that people in the blue states
are more likely to have had their kid take a prep course for the SATs or
ACTs.

Is that a bad thing? Seems pretty smart to me...

Jon, must I draw you a picture of everything?

The point is that the underlying assumption of the presentation--that SAT
scores can be used to predict likely scores on an IQ test-- is flawed.

I think you need to draw the picture for yourself. If the parents had
the smarts to put their kid in a prep course, that would be a good
predicter of intelligence. I guess there really are some stupid
lawyers.
