Charles Murray's methodologies have always been unscientific and 
controversial.  He went through Eurocentric reference books, counted the 
numbers of entries and pages devoted to each historical figure, and 
concluded that Europeans contributed the most to human history.  I wouldn't 
take any of his "methodologies" seriously.  His statistical "methods" are 
likewise suspect.  None of his research seems to derive from a truly neutral 
investigative stance intended to meaure reality.  Instead, he always seems 
to have a pre-determined goal for he contrives methodologies and statistics 
to support.
