right, people claiming that measuring brain weight has something to do with some dubious intelligence metric is phrenology
IIR, being obsessed with brain size & weight overlaps with phrenology, but is a distinct (and generally simpler) set of beliefs.
But both have very long and dubious reputations. And the article's failure to mention or disclaim either is (IMO) a rather serious fault.
