But scientists doing the experiment only can show that , it takes intelligence to do it.
Dunaspy:
Let's put two subthreads together: say that Hurricane Ike blew down some trees, and that a scientist wanted to confirm just how much wind-with-rain it takes to blow that particular strain of slash pine over. So she borrows the fan from one of NASA's giant wind tunnels, sets it up out by Conroe, Texas, and starts blowing down trees. She measures wind speeds and varies the amount of simulated rain she adds in.
Does that make Ike intelligent? That's
precisely what you are arguing.
