Bo please, sometimes I'm not sure if I'm totally incapable of
transfering my view or if it's you who refuses to see what I'm saying.
A rational definition of intelligence is not possible because
what we call intelligence has so much to do with DQ. Intuition,
fantasy, inspiration, association etc.
I actually didn't think of that particular definition of intelligence
last I waved it off, I probably mixed it up with someone
else's. However, I don't consider that a very good definition
though. Since Turing didn't know anything about DQ but thought
everything could be defined using rational means, that was the
only way. He probably thought that one day, the intelligence of
humans could be defined using rational means.
