#2 And I think good-looking stupid people are given a greater margin of tolerance and/or receive help, possibly making a better functioning group activity at the loss of a less capable individual, but I'm not an ambi-turner.

Walk off!

#6 I doubt it, I'd say most of it in environment, unless you consider Einstein and Hawkings beautiful.

Are the research claiming to be beautiful or is this written by ugly idiots?

#8 Beauty can be a curse though. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that beauty doesn't last, and children who are mostly complemented on their appearance instead of accomplishments tend to get neurotic about it, since they are worried they don't have a fall back position.

Likewise they find it harder to make friendships, because beauty is often seen as aloof, and being alone can inhibit social skills.

#11 Over 60, bald, bespecticaled, stooped, and unshaven has it's rewards. The ugly ones even pass you by without a glance, or interruption.

#12 The study indicated attractive men have IQs that are 13.6 points above the average, while beautiful women are 11.4 points higher than average.

Directionally better than the mean, but IQ test score error bars are plus/minus ten points, and one standard deviation is about fifteen points, depending on who is counting. I mean, gee whiz! Barack Obama is supposed to have an IQ of 125, and he can lay claim to no special physical beauty.
