They're monozygotic twins. If they have just randomly very different IQs, that's in itself an important finding.


Everyone understands that some monozygotic twins have very similar IQs, and some have very different IQs. This is just natural variation, and not news at all. If schools make twins have very different IQs, that's important evidence for environmental effects on IQ which may well be interesting. But the problem is that maybe causality went the other way.
