   Oh, I agree there ... but one of the main points was
   that the instrumentation/methods were much improved
   yet STILL showed the mysterious effect (just in better
   detail).

   So, downstream, I expect this is gonna be deemed REAL.

   And it's REALLY weird.

   Seems like every time instrumentation improves by even
   2X then The Science has to leap ahead 10X.

   Beyond a certain point nobody is SURE what "IQ" means.
   It's kind of the problem where you're trying to describe
   yourself - but the very attempt at description ALTERS
   the equation. Very quantum  :-)

   I've met a few people with EXTREME 'IQ' over the years.
   One seemed kinda 'normal', but just had kinda superhuman
   math abilities/perspective. The other two were, well,
   NOT so 'normal' - skittish, borderline autistic,
   'borderline' in general.

   But we're still talking IQ-200 max here. What the hell
   would 300 or 500 look like ??? Note effective intellectual
   ability is not proportional to the IQ score. 120 is MUCH
   more capable than 100.
