I notice how some people just dodge when they have no answer. Again, I ask you, how you can test the aptitude of a 10 year old in a way that is purely "innate" and can have no connection with the 10 years of environment that child has experienced. I'm still all ears.

That aptitude and IQ tests can *take into account* the education a person has received should hardly be stultifying for you.
Could it possibly be that you are now arguing that those 10 years of environmental influences can be removed from the results of the aptitude test via "taking it into account"? You can't possibly be serious, really.
