It ain't necessarily so. The intelligence can be in the combination of
the transducers and the rest. This is exactly the reason I ask you to
think a bit further, and consider how intelligence could be
implemented. To say 'Its not in ..., so it must be somewhere else',
has led to dualism for many people. And we don't want that, do we? :-)
