Of course, the same argument says that their loss will not make a
significant difference in the average intelligence.

Further, given the more pragmatic reason of wanting to save
idiots for the purposes of doing grunt work, it would seem to be
worthwhile to save them.

Well, this is true...  :-)

Of course, the intelligentia of the population are overly
concernced about the things intelligentia are usually concerned
about.  Therefore, smart people will make bad parents, but
morons will be good, and, as a result, they will raise smart
children.  We must kill all the smart people.
