The answer is both. Although windsurfing means your age bracket is even further in to the cohort that wore the wrath of Thomas Midgley Jr. In general IQ scoring is adjusted to allow for each generation getting smarter, however, I.Q.s everywhere dropped a few points, thanks to Midgley's leaded fuels.
Not to mention all Windsurfers drink crafted mid strength beer.
Did Midgley die of Polio ?
I know he suffered polio. Not sure if it was the cause of his death.
Edit: I googled it.
Midgley contracted polio in 1940 and was left disabled; in 1944, he was found strangled to death by a device he devised to allow him to get out of bed unassisted. It was reported to the public that he had been accidentally killed by his own invention, but his death was privately declared a suicide.
