Right Justin. You would have been a lot of help in the Salem Witch Trials. "Well it's not implausible these women are witches who have brought social misfortune upon us...But should we really burn them?" So you were making an argument against gassing and sterilizing people though granting that it's not implausible that there are groups that are racially inferior in terms of inherited intelligence, though the concepts of race, heritability and intelligence have no scientific validity in this context. With friends like this...

Yours, Rakesh
