He makes a good point about "amount of time" can have a large influence on rating. An example is a child with a 105 IQ that studies and gets straight A's, at the next measurment, the IQ may be higher. The same is true for a "bright student" with a 120 IQ that decides to coast, at the next measurement the IQ could be lower.
