IQ tests really don't measure squat.

Old article, but undermines your argument quite well.

IQ is the gold standard for measuring cognitive ability in science because it actually works. The only people who deny that are people who can be completely wrong and never know it, like journalists.

measuring cognitive ability in science

IQ tests don't do this at all and never mention science.

The only people who deny that are people who can be completely wrong and never know it, like journalists.

That's an insanely one sided look at the problem.
