Perhaps a better way to put my view: we should think of intelligence(s) as capacities, i.e. things a system can do, rather than a latent thing that systems have. Then the performance on the test simply is the thing and we don't need to speculate about whether the test measures the real, hidden thing

Living in Decatur GA is similar. We’re so close to Emory, CDC, GT and GA State that odds are good the random person at the park has some crazy expertise. It’s pretty lovely.
