However, although the data used seems sound, is it completely valid for determining human capacity to succeed in life? Are there other factors that were left out?
Finally, isn't the literary work an excuse for bigotry and discrimination against whole groups of people, based on faulty (incomplete) science?
(Not that that's necessarily what Murray and Herrnstein intended.)
