And what exactly do you win by this? Now people will fight what tasks require
intelligence for humans. :) Does driving a car for example require intelligence?
Looking at the number of people who actually have a driving license one could
tend to answer this question with 'not really' at least. :)

I think the definition of intelligence you posted some messages ago is the best
one so far. Being able to learn and act reasonably in situation you never
saw before. (not your exact wording)

Kind regards,
