- they did not publish this through normal scientific channels and it was not
peer reviewed, and most peer reviewers reject their methods as statistically
invalid
then writes
### All journals dealing with intelligence accept their methods and their
conclusions - not surprising, since they took their data and most conclusions
from peer reviewed literature. They didn't need to publish the obvious - they
wanted to inform the lay public, like us, about the prevailing views of the
relevant scientists.
Guys,
Herrnstein was a psychometrician that had spent a career publishing in
professional journals that had peer review. He also quoted studies that had
undergone peer review. As to The Bell Curve itself I accepted it as a
popularization of a scientific subject. I have never heard of a
popularization being submitted for peer review.
