The googled definition says "the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses.", which I think fits ok.

Nope. That's why I use "intelligence" despite the problems with it. "Intelligence" may be a blank slate on which you can write whatever meaning you wish, but at least it can stretch to mean something accurate.
'Understanding' has an ambiguous meaning, while thought and senses are certainly not applicable.
But it's a semantic discussion about a novel and not well understood topic so :shrug: :)
I agree entirely.
