That's why I say our vocabulary for talking about these things leaves something to be desired - the way we use the word "intelligence" combines both raw/potential ability to do something (prediction), and the experience we have that allows that ability to be utilized. The only way you are going to learn to actually write a novel is by a lot of reading and writing and learning how to write something that provides the experience you hope it to have.

Kind of agree. I think, though, trying to shoe-horn intelligence into some evolutionary concepts is tricky because it is easy stack hypotheses there.
