Ah, I see. Yeah, I agree, the exact numbers don´t matter in making your point. But what we often hear is the estimates from the Branigan paper and the Silventoinen paper (30-36 % C and 40-something A) without further discussion

Several economists do pedigree-based studies where they include twins, siblings, half-siblings etc, but even by econbro standards, the Goldberger "A powerful intellect was at play..." may have scared some off.
Jencks 1972 is also "known" for the red-hairedness example, but I agree, not mainstream

Is the 44 % the total C if one did this in the Silventoinen-paper, or is the total C the original estimate 31 % + 44 % = 75 %?

Exactly!
