31. Why does it have to be political at all? If there were...
absolute proof that one or more "races" is in some way inferior to others, it would be the worst thing that could possibly happen, and would most likely be suppressed. This can't have any direct effect on elections or public policy because nobody in their right mind is going to come out publicly and say we should treat some of the population a certain way because they have less capability.

Why would you assume that Slate has a political point to make? This is an unfortunate research path that doesn't seem to want to go away and should be aired out to stop those midnight emails "explaining" why we shouldn't try to educate some people.
