Bull!
While speed is a COMPONENT of intelligence, mental speed, alone, is NOT
intelligence.

More unsupported crap!
We do more learning from birth to (about) 5 than we do at any other time in
our lives!!

The quotient was created to give relivant meaning to intelligence - to see
it as related to a norm .. our own age.

Exactly my point, you have NO idea what you're babbling about.
While we DO learn from birth to death, there is NO support for your claim
that it constantly increases.

Bwahahahaaaaa...... and you claim to be a scientist?
