Why is that? Of course we all know that the average IQ can’t be 10 points higher than the average IQ, but that would be a silly way to interpret what he said, and I can’t think of any mathematical reason why the new average couldn’t become, say, 110 instead of 100… (I can think of lots of practical reasons, though) (EDIT: and of course I mean on today’s scale, as others have pointed out)
