You wonder if that means intelligence really works like other bodily systems. Animals work so well not because of a single trick, but due to a big bag of tricks. Not "one single gene" or algorithms learning good performance at everything, but 1000 different algorithms and a good way of selecting between them. Not 1 or 2 or 10, but a large number.
