The issue of the internet-bias in dismissing questions like this are distracting to the real issue at hand, that being US! The facts are these -- (1) we will never know what the entire CH-population looks like, (2) the sub-group of CH-hosts that is here is here. So my question is why not work with what you have and stop whinning about about what is missing!
I propose that we adopt a sub-group brand for the internet-enabled version of CH, say "CH(I)".
Now, as far as the IQ issue is concerned, half of the people you know are below average. There was this group of folks who came from Tennessee to Texas to set up the Republic and ended up fighting in the Alamo. It is often said that when they moved from Tennessee to Texas they raised the IQ in both states.
The CH-IQ score is what it is, why not work with what you have? If it is high, good! If it is too high we can get over it if we watch out! Actually, in addition to IQ, I would ask about Type A/B personality types.
