| 74. 3.6 pts is nothing in real world terms |

IQ tests have a confidence interval of 5 pts. And you can make practically anything statistically significant with 100,000 subjects. Not to mention the problem with correlation vs. causation. This study is not worth getting bent out of shape about - the results are really pretty meaningless.
