Yes it would, because if intelligence was uniformly genetic, you would choose the intelligent to breed with one another, as the only possible outcome of an intelligent-intelligent pairing would be an intelligent child. Obviously, this isn't the case, so encouraging people to breed on the basis that they are both intelligent and therefore will create an intelligent child is a waste of time.
