You: Here is my assertion. Other Posters: Here is a study that disagrees with that assertion. You: This study is wonderful and handsome and agrees entirely with my assertion. Other Posters: No, here's how the study very much disagrees with your assertion. You: This study is worthless, flawed, contradicts itself, and will eat your children. Yeah, I think I'm done here.

Nor is "Cheeseball". But you are the same person who posted as Alonsua, and as MaryAnn, aren't you?

Re: Are DX and IQ overly undervalued?
My apologies, you never asserted the study would messily devour someone's offspring. I am, nonetheless, done with this fruitless discussion.

Also, the sample size was 60 out of a cohort of 76. That is a significant number for a study of this kind. Honestly, did you actually read it or just skim for words that you thought supported your point?

Re: Are DX and IQ overly undervalued?
I'm gonna be honest, this seems to be needlessly complicated implementation of languages that introduces unnecessary problems to an elegant system. The way GURPS models languages gives you three easy to understand levels of language understanding in two categories. Someone can look at these levels on a character sheet and immediately understand what they mean in real life. Most people have heard someone speak broken English, accented English, and native English. I can hardly say the same thing about skill levels. I couldn't tell you if someone I heard had English-12 or English-10.
