Well Crystallized Intelligence (i.e.,acquired knowledge) is one of the highest loading factors on G (i.e., overall IQ), along with Fluid Intelligence (i.e., problem-solving and reasoning) and Quantitative Reasoning. So he's not incorrect that a major component of intelligence is one's general knowledge. That being said, intelligence is what tests are attempting to measure, not the other way around as his wording seems to suggest.

Crystallized Intelligence
sounds like a synonym for "total knowledge retained", which is something of a redefinition of intelligence. intelligence is supposed to be a representation of the ability to quickly and effectively gain new knowledge or solve/understand new problems.
an older person has a huge advantage in "crystallized intelligence", no?
