Agree with all of that. What annoys me is when properties of the normal distribution are used as "facts" about human intelligence.

I'm sure there are more people with 200+ IQ than with <0.

Reread my original statement and see if you still disagree

eh, well my answer is going to be most likely unsatisfying because - that just depends on how you count it, there's quite a few different IQ tests and some of them use slightly different methods of calculating the scores

practically though? a person so disabled they can barely figure out the most basic puzzles that scores below ~20 would probably have significantly lower survival chances basically anywhere, but especially in developing countries where they're less likely to get help
