Actually, there are good reasons for developing materials for lower
IQs.

The average IQ is 100. Half the population is above that ... and half
of it is below. If you develop material that requires an average IQ
to understand, half of the population will not understand it. For
this reason, it makes more sense to develop material for a lower
target IQ, so that a much larger percentage of the population can
handle it. If you target an IQ of 70, for example, about 98% of the
population will be able to understand it. This is the reason for
"dumbing down" materials to the lowest common denominator (within
reason).

In commercial endeavors, you dumb down your advertising and other
materials until everyone with the money to buy your product or service
can understand it. In politics, you dumb down your rhetoric and
policy until everyone with the ability to vote can understand it.



Wow, you really are a geniius. I have a six month old puppy who could
figure that out. And he's house broken! More than we could say for you.
