The book "The Bell Curve" (1994) by Herrnstein and Murray

The book and it's statistical analyses are flawed. Hernstein and
Murray start with a theory, then *lie* with statistics to support
their theory.

"Lie" is a strong word, and unless you can show that Herrnstein and
Murray did not believe what they were writing, you should not have
used it.

Looking at Table 1 at the link you provided, using the critic's
revised measure of socioeconomic status (SES) still leaves IQ with a
larger t-stat than SES in predicting whether an adult will live in
poverty.
