Ah, okay. I see your point. Interesting. I hadn't thought of it like that.

The thing is, I like my "semantic" argument because it avoids defining
intelligence. From my experience, as soon as you try to pin down intelligence,
there are a dozen people just waiting to disagree with you.

I figure, if you have a bench, for all practical purposes, it's made out of
wood. =)
