For example, women have traditionally scored lower than men on average on the math part of the SAT test, but the difference vanishes when you take away the time limit.
Yes, Todd, I see your point—likewise white guys have traditionally run slower than black guys on average on the 100-yard dash, but the difference vanishes when you ignore time!

You can find the same dilemma with intelligence in general. People with high IQ have a distinct advantage over those with lower IQ in solving certain kinds of problems. Yet their genius can give them a disadvantage under other conditions.
Terrific points Todd—thank God we’re neither fast nor geniuses. Viva la BS.
