You are misinterpreting that research.

It’s the best individual predictor when compared against other predictors, but not very predictive on its own.

I.e. Iq is more predictive than inherited wealth, but iq + inherited wealth is more predictive than either individual factor.

And again we're back at my original question... This is just a never ending loop. My whole point is this: How do we separate our inherited traits from the privilege brought on by our "class"?

IQ is the strongest individual predictor, but much smaller than the aggregate of class traits.

Class traits are of course inherited, but there is a distinction to be made between cultural inheritance and generic inheritance.

Which are you talking about?
