It would be interesting to figure out how Clever Hans does it, though. Don’t you want to know the tricks? Even when it’s a cheat, it might be a clever one.
For example, researchers eventually figured out that image recognition algorithms pay attention to textures.

This provided a cue that the horse could use to tell it to stop tapping." [1] However, there are gene regulatory networks that can actually count up to 3, with the mechanism of counting up to 2 being curiously different than the one for counting up to 3. [2] "Every intelligence test is also a test of the questioner" [3]: we don't regard a simple liver cell as intelligent, yet it performs a complex task in a large problem space.
