What it is against is, misapplication of methodology.
Yes, and the author rightly points out that latent variables do not exclude the possibility of microstructure. That doesn't mean the use of the latent variables is a "statistical myth", unless you define the term "statistical myth" so broadly as to include temperature and pressure.
g is not as useful as T, since its ability as an explanatory variable and verification in experimental settings are sorely lacking.
This is both undisputed, and unrelated to the author's argument. The difference between our pre-Boltzman understanding of T and our contemporary understanding of g is one of precision. The author's argument was independent of precision, so invoking precision to protect his argument is disingenuous.
You might want to criticize the confidence levels of g. That's a perfectly legitimate thing to do. But that's not what I'm responding to.
So it would have to be wielded carefully, one eugenics movement is enough.
Not sure about that. The Dor Yesherim organization does such a great job of eugenics, I'd love to see further eugenics movements in other genetically isolated groups.
