 Aha, but the very imagination, creativity and narrative construction skills you point to are themselves the product of an algorithm: the algorithm encoded into [[evolution by natural selection]].
-Here they might appeal to {{br|Darwin’s Dangerous Idea}}: it was [[evolution by natural selection]], after all, and ''only'' [[evolution by natural selection]] that as operated relentlessly, fpr 370 million years since the first legged fish when they crawled out of the primordial ooze and onto the shores of a new, terrestrial world. That single algorithm transformed those little flippy-finned mudsuckers into the highest type of sentient being yet known in this neighbourhood of the Galaxy: the [[ISDA ninja]]. ''So how can you say [[algorithm]]s can’t be intelligent?''

That single [[algorithm]] transformed those little flippy-finned mudsuckers into the highest type of sentient being yet known in this neighbourhood of the Galaxy: the [[ISDA ninja]]. And, to the best of our current thinking, all an [[ISDA ninja]] is doing is using her brain, and that is purely [[algorithm|algorithmic]], we see that human natural intelligence ''is'' an algorithmic process, ''created out of'' an algorithmic process.
+''So how can you say [[algorithm]]s can’t be intelligent?''
+Herewith, the case for the defence.
+===Not “can’t”. ''Aren’t''===
