Ah, philosophers, not scientists. Important not to mix them up. Philosophy is an intellectual wordplay, and it's dealing with word definitions. Science deal with natural world.

In this case, the "nature of intelligence" is only about word definition - while it sounds like it's very important, it does not actually predict anything.
