>Intelligence is not a prerequisite to speak fancifully.

I think this may be a bastardization of the word intelligence. To speak fancifully an a manner accepted by the audience requires some kind of ordered information processing and understanding of the audiences taste. Typically we'd consider that intelligent, but likely Machiavellian depending on the intent.

The problem with the word intelligence is it is too big of concept. If you look at any part of our brain, you will not find (human)intelligence itself, instead it emerges from any number of processes occurring at different scales. Until we are able to break down intelligence into these smaller better (but not perfectly) classified pieces we are going to keep running into these same problems over and over again.
