>This doesn’t only imply extreme malleability, it also goes against the usual pattern for other traits where heritability increases as kids reach puberty (typically happening at 14-15 years of age for boys, and 13-14 years of age for girls).
The age and informedness correlations are both expected under a memetic acquisition model where people sample a finite but large meme pool through their lives at a rate that increases with their IQ. True memetic variance comes from sampling bias and standard error, bias comes from adoptive parents and fades out with age, standard error comes down with sample size.
But short of such a regime we will never shut up competing sources so such results and malleability cannot be expected.
And for intelligent adults (ruling class) the 60 % heritability figure should be roughly correct because of these two correlations with c^2 (IQ and age).

Interesting papers, another thing is that c^2 negatively correlates with your sample informedness (and thus IQ since informedness correlates with crystalized knowledge). https://www.josephbronski.com/p/why-biology-and-math-are-key-commenting

I have suggested true m^2 is 10-20% which suggests in a totalitarian regime, an imposed 3SD (wrt right now) information environment could shift the population mean by about 1 SD https://www.josephbronski.com/p/can-the-right-become-the-elite
