"My prediction that GWAS studies would turn up many replicable genetic hits for IQ "within 10 years" was correct. <- My last tweet to you. Bye."
-Stuart Ritchie, with a very thoughtful retort to my contention that GWAS studies are likely all false positives (shortly after calling me a "crank"). At least he actually responded. Notice, by the way, that he said, "replicable" and not replicated. Cute, that.
Addendum:
"Finally, it is also possible that, although specific loci reached genome-wide significance in particular studies, there are false positives, highlighting the importance of well-powered replication studies."
From a study published two weeks later and co-authored by Stuart Ritchie.
