I was just commenting on the fact that people claim "intelligent" to be subjective to taste, so if there are so many definitions, then obviously you're defining "intelligent" with a shotgun approach (ie. spray everywhere and you'll probably hit it), which doesn't seem the proper way to identify something so scarce as "intelligence".
