Well, sure if you have people using one thing to "prove" the case for eugenics...
But those who argue for eugenics don't need a test to prove thier case. Reason doesn't really play there, does it?
There is so much more to a person than that one thing.
But it doesn't do anyone any good to deny that for some people there *is* that gift.
Just as it doesn't do anyone any good to deny that some are better looking, more athletic, more musical, kinder, gentler or possessing any other gift they are born with.
