I haven't read the particular article linked to above, but this is definitely a misinterpretation of Flynn's long term position on this. He's actually a lot closer to your view than to your interpretation of his. I think where you part is that he'd disagree with your assumption that there is a notion, unchanging and capable of proper independent definition, of "the real deal" that IQ tests are trying to measure.
