We don’t agree on the definition of intelligence, nor that “intelligence is hereditary in the same way that height is”, which is fundamental to this issue. But I am totally uninterested in debating it, of course. So I’ll just leave it at that.

That’s fine. But for those that would like to know about research into the heritability of intelligence, here is a relatively easy to understand published paper that looks at it using twin studies, including those raised apart. It finds that the heritability of IQ is about 0.8.
