Just to toss out a bit for contemplation:

How do we know that there is not some similar trick, whereby a system could
do this and still not be what we would consider intelligent?

Or rather, what kinds of tricks might allow for such a thing?

Can't think of any?  Neither could those who declared that chess grandmastery
required true intelligence...but they might not have known of the types of AI
tricks that were to come.

There may be a good answer.  If there is, it would be useful, in this
discussion,
to have it.
