How is that a straw man?? The Jeopardy champagne Watson could't
access the web for *ANYTHING*. All Watson had was his memory, take
away that and Watson would be as clueless as a college professor who
had totally lost his memory.

you seem to identify competence and intelligence.
If a person behaves is a certain way then he's intelligent, but if a
robot behaves in the EXACT SAME WAY then he's just competent.
I don't think anyone said that.
And that my friend is 100% triple distilled extra virgin Bullshit.
Certainly.
Intelligence is not a question of behavior. It is closer to
consciousness, even conscience, than to competence, which is the only
one, among those notion, to be testable in a 3p way.
Intelligence is more an abstract ability to learn, or a sort of
courage making some person able to change its mind, to develop new
taste, etc.
Competence is an ability to solve problem. That can be tested, notably
with exams and things like that.
