It is the estimate we have based on the evidence available. It's possible it is off, but that is conjecture
No the numbers are admittedly conjecture are the people that do the studies admit countries like North Korea are done by region averages because there is no data given by the NK government.
So you dispute IQ averages of North Korea, but readily accept the numbers associated with autism? Which I don't see the relevance of anyway.
You mean there’s a difference between falsifiable data and non-falsifiable data?
Variance and predictability are not at all incongruous with each other. The predictability of genetics as it relates to intelligence is so strong on average that, if you had similarity consistent predictability in sports betting, you would quickly amass a fortune.
As long as environmental factors are maintained, the second malnutrition hits, iqs drop dramatically like in the pubmed study I posted…
Yes, but when you control the whole country the way they do, you can probably falsify either just fine. They would have incentive to do it in either direction, too—underreport the cases and you look good, overreport the cases and you get more medical aid.

Why are autism case numbers not falsifiable?
You can falsify an iq exam to a far easier extent than something like autism, especially when NK relies on foreign medical for the latter.

The main difference I would argue is the foreign doctors doing treatment and research are far more reliable than NK self reporting
