I don't understand either. Humans seem unreasonably impressed with their ability to read, write and talk. Most measures of intelligence are based around these abilities.
The people I live with are enormously impressed with their ability to talk mostly. The fact they talk a load of shite doesn't seem to enter the debate.

I've noticed that some people get very offended and defensive if it is implied that any other animal has intelligence. Especially if the animals are better at a particular "cerebral" task than a human.
Why do some people feel so threatened and insecure by this? For crying out loud, everything on the planet is part of the same biosphere, we all share DNA/RNA. Seeing varying amounts and types of intelligence in other creatures gives me a comforting sense of belonging, like we are part of a spectrum.
....ok, I'll get off my soapbox now...
