That will certainly depend on the point of view of the person seeking
to make the judgment, if I had an IQ of 127 then I could possibly,
should I so choose, regard someone with an IQ of 100 as thick because
relative to me they would be. similarly if I had IQ of 80 then one
with IQ of 65 would appear thick.
Usually those who witter on about their IQ and how stupid truck
drivers et al are have a problem with their penis size and it's
associated feelings of inferiority, asserting their self perceived
superior IQ is a form of compensation.

Often erroneously claimed. Never proven.

You believe what you want, no amount of 'proof' will change your
entrenched position, we have been down this road before.

In the event of a national emergency, like an escalation of the fuel
crisis of the seventies for example, what will be the first vehicles
banned from using the M ways, could it be private cars? Feeding the
people will take precedence over a rep trying to keep a bussiness
lunch appointment.
