>we are susceptible to interpreting intelligence where there is none,
I disagree as this is much to simple of statement. You have had near daily dealings with less than human intelligences for most of your life, we call them animals. We realize they have a wide range of intelligence from extremely simple behavior to near human competency.
This is why I dismiss your 'not intelligent yet' statement. The problem we lack here is one of precise language when talking about the components of intelligence and the wide range in which it manifests.
