Actually, our "disagreement" only concerned the usage of the word "intelligence". I pointed out that when we use the word "intelligent" to apply to every carrot or onion (or to Brummy types of stones, for example), we lose a degree of discrimination in our communication. I pointed out (for instance) that I am not overwhelmed by the debating and rhetorical skills of a chicken egg when I penetrate into the intellectual center of that cell. Generally speaking, if an organism can process data in any fashion it could be termed, "intelligent".
