My response is we have fancy computers and lots of storage—there’s no need to do psychometric models of the brain with one parameter anymore, we can leave that to the poor folks in the early 1900s.
How many parameters does a good model of the game of Go have, again? The human brain is a lot more complicated, still.
There are lots of ways to show single parameter models are silly, for example discussions of whether Trump is “stupid” or not that keep going around in circles.
This seems to be an argument for including more variables than just g (which most psychometric models IME already do btw), but it doesn’t seem to support your original claim that g doesn’t exist at all.

(Also, g isn’t a model of the brain.)
