re: #146 doppelganglander

It proves nothing except that the designer didn’t know the difference between an intelligence test and a test of knowledge

Not necessarily that he didn’t know the difference, rather that he was trying to prove a point (although very indirectly and, IMHO, rather badly). As I said, it’s utterly uncontroversial that a putative intelligence test CAN be designed to be “culturally biased”. The burden is showing that a given test IS “culturally biased”.
