That's not true, you just lose proportion, since you relate new tasks to that you've already witnessed or seen similar of. They can't base something like that off an IQ test, I mean, those workers probably have those boring jobs for a reason... ;)

Oh right sure. Then i bet electricians can't count anything. since we're so dumb.

Just because we'd rather build stuff instead of looking at a paper or a glaring screen doesn't make us any lower IQ.
