If you are not willing to be wrong

In some cases, it is due to ignorance of alternatives.

We can encounter endless alternatives, it’s only the ones who fit seamlessly should be considered.

Ah, you mean only the ones which seamlessly fit your preconceived notions. If people had considered only those alternatives which seamlessly fit their previous notions, we would still believe that having sex with a virgin would cure syphilis.

Unlike your evolution of intelligence I am talking about gathering data we can look at, see how and where we are getting it. Your imaginary evolutionary narrative of intelligence must be accepted on blind faith, you can not measure anything through time.

I admit when collecting data it is for purpose but unless I alter results to make them fit we have to follow the evidence where ever it goes. A narrative created on what may have happen is not falsifiable you can read into it whatever you want, make it mean what you want.
