A system is an evolutionary system if it contains the following elements: Replication, Heritable traits, Change, and Selection. Some people did not like defining "evolutionary system" this way....so I said fine, lets call such systems "Heywood Systems". The labels don't change the argument.
There is a set of systems which contain those elements. Every time we examine members of that set and find them to require intellect without ever finding a member which does not require intellect, it increases the likelihood that all members of that set of systems require intellect.
So you made up the definition and made up that it requires intellect?
