The IQ of a banana is more than 0

How to calculate IQI apologize for my misunderstanding. I actually retrieved the 'mental age' formula from a link from the original source, and used it. The source quoted by my opponent was quite vague on the subject of IQ and relied on several sources with various explanations. (If the Pro can cite exactly which link his definition was found, it would be appreciated.)However, I will still concede to my opponent and rely upon the modern IQ model.Now, my opponent made a number of deductive errors here. First, he failed to identify how IQ is measured from people in a persistent vegetative state. It should be noted that "Most PVS patients are unresponsive to external stimuli and their conditions are associated with different levels of consciousness."http://en.wikipedia.org...Of course, 'most' is not absolute, but it can be safely assumed that bananas are likewise "unresponsive to external stimuli." This would make it impossible to determine the IQ of a banana (or a person in a PVS) without an examination of its brain in action. In other words, an MRI scan on a banana's brain would have to be taken in order for its IQ to be determined. I will return to this conclusion shortly."The fraction of the population with an IQ less or equal than a banana is roughly 15,000/300,000,000=1/20,000."Here my opponent falsely assumes that bananas are at the upper end of this region, when they may very well be the bottom-most occupant and have an IQ of 0.Additionally, on source linked from the original states that an IQ of 1-24 correlates with "profound mental disability."http://psychology.about.com...Suggesting a banana is more intelligent than any human, even with profound mental disability, is absurd, but I will continue.Do bananas have brains? Even without using the 'mental age' calculation, it can be concluded that a brain is necessary for a determination of IQ. I concluded that a scan is needed to find a banana's IQ, and without a brain, a scan would be fruitless and yield NO results of electrical signals being transmitted through a central processing unit commonly known as a brain. Thus, their IQ would be 0.Now, my opponent used an image of an open walnut to conclude that bananas may have brains. However, he failed to realize he made three crucial errors in this conclusion. The first is that walnuts are not bananas. Walnuts are members of the Juglandaceae family, while bananas are members of the Musaceae family. They are not closely enough related to be comparable.http://en.wikipedia.org...http://en.wikipedia.org... His second error lies in his assumption that having a brain correlates to intelligence, "a walnut may not look very intelligent on the outside but if you crack open its skull you see that it does have a brain." This argument surprised me in its astuteness. My opponent's previous arguments had been thinly veiled, but not this one. The reason I have taken all this time to come up with a rebuttal lay in this conundrum.Finally, I figured it out. Dead people have brains as well, but have no cognitive abilities. Likewise, walnuts may appear to be intelligent, but have no thinking abilities. If there is evidence otherwise, I would gladly listen.The final error in judgment was that the Pro overlooked the main part of my picture. "An image of the outside of a banana does not constitute a proof." This is true, but my picture actually shows a banana cut in half juxtaposed with a full banana. It may appear like two attached fruits, but it is in fact not. The inside reveals that no brain was present. The only way this can be refuted is if my opponent presents some definite proof of the existence of a brain in a banana.PopulationAnother issue arising in my opponents argument using the standard deviation model of IQ is a problem in distribution.If all bananas are accounted for, serious issues emerge. There were 107142187 TONNES of bananas harvested globally in 2011.http://faostat.fao.org...Considering that the average weight of a banana is 125 grams (.125 kg), and a tonne is equal to 1000 kg, it is calculated that 857137496000 bananas existed that year alone. Adding this population to the human population and assuming that its IQ is a measurable statistic above 0 would tilt the scale and completely void the distribution model.http://en.wikipedia.org...Pro must reconcile this with his equations to justify a banana having an IQ of greater that 0, let alone an IQ at all.
