^would like to point out that ranking “intellectual-ness” is meaningless and an exercise in futility. It’s akin to forcing a square peg into a round hole, to use a cliche. The criteria for being intellectual not only vary from person to person depending on the evaluator but are also more nuanced than simply binary. In attempting to quantify the quality of being intellectual, much information is thus lost in translation. As a BME, I’d say the quantization error of such a process is unacceptably high and, if this was a medical instrument, require the redesign of the A/D converter.
