    Well, you claimed that children of parents with higher IQ have more successful children.

    That wasn’t my first claim. My first claim was that IQ predicts success.

    I pointed out that this is largely due to social factors, to which you replied a non sequitur about how intelligence has a genetic component.

    Then I went here because you brought up parents. So not a non-sequitur but a specific reply to your comment.

    From that, a reasonable person would assume that you believe that genetics is a major component of IQ, and not just a small contributing factor.

    When I specifically said it’s not clear how big of a factor it is. So no, I don’t think a reasonable person would assume that.
