14. The data doesn't necessarily indicate men are biologically smarter

As things stand, environmental/social factors get in the way too much. Do men outnumber women in the highest IQ brackets because they are biologically more capable, or that they are more encouraged in our society to work the brain and not the booty? We can't isolate and remove those factors because we don't understand their impact, and odds are we never will, if Goedel is right. Anyway, all this proves is that currently men are more represented in higher IQ brackets than women. Deciding what that means beyond that is increasingly subjective territory.
