There is however a rather obvious difference between these examples. Yes,
I can point at an airplane that flies just fine despite a lack of feathers,
and I can point at a creature that is very emotional but has little or no
intelligence; but you can NOT point to an intelligence that is not
emotional, it remains as mythical as the Unicorn. I can supply concrete
examples to support my view, you can supply none to support yours.
