It's a complex algorithm.  If it quacks like a duck... and it's a
duck... it's not that intelligent.  But if it quacks like a duck...
and it's a wolf trying to get close enough to eat a duck... that's
intelligent.  I'm not really sure how to model this rigorous proof so
I can make a gazillion megabucks.  (perhaps I lack requisite
intelligence)

The smart people on this list?  The proles on this list?  Humanity in
general?  To be honest, I was making a counterpoint to my first
facetious argument with a second facetious argument.
