I think the article makes a true point well.

Intelligence of the type that is approximated by IQ (pattern identification, relationship modeling and whatnot) is like most things just another ability.

It's a useful ability in that you can use it to mimic some other useful abilities if you so choose, but it is just another ability. Any implications of it being something else is just outside expectation applied by people who want to further their own agenda, goals, world view or values etc.

Expecting someone with that type of intelligence to conform to any specific set of values or goals is like expecting someone who is tall to conform to the idea of being a sports star etc.
