If I teach you a thing and you memorise what I teach you. Can you apply it to other situations? For example if I teach you a formula, fine you know the rule and can apply it. But can you recognise it if the question doesn't put it in the way you've been taught? Different wording, transposed with different algebra or simply not mentioned. This is being able to understand it.

A computer doesn't do these things.

Another example. You write a big essay out in MS Word. Do you imagine your computer knows what you're talking about? confused3

And yeah I've seen Asimo. He doesn't even have the inteligence of a small rodent.
