I beg to differ on music. *Music, at least classical music, is a very

BTW, people who are real musicians are not known to be of low IQ.

Music is one of the arts, not a science ...

Thank you for loosely reiterating one of my points. You are partly
correct.

And I reiterate, music as an art *does* have strong elements of math
and science; in fact, music of quality contains a great deal of
mathematical precision and sonic science - and to claim otherwise is
disingenuous or uninformed. Further, to claim that musicians of high
calibre do not betray a high level of intelligence is a point of
misinformation.
