	I think that Alain Turing did not want to define what
	'intelligence' really is (that would indeed be hard),
	but rather to provide some kind of basis for empirical
	tests, and forget the unfruitful arguing about what
	defines intelligence. The test, although inaccurate,
	does provide some information about the intelligence
	of the object being tested.
	Furthermore, would you say that a drunk person is not
	intelligent? Or a child? Or someone mentally handicapped?
	The question of what defines intelligence is and will remain
	unsolved.
