Interesting definition for intelligence. I tend to sort of agree with his analysis to a point. Keeping options opens forces you to focus on methodologies or processes for obtaining information or making decisions vs defining a specific end-point and sticking with it. It lends credence to the concept of an incomplete system where we don't know everything and therefore we cannot pick a point in the system to define it for all scenarios but with the knowledge of ultimate truth and its existence (although we are a long ways off from it), that should tell us that there is a complete system and our interpretation of that system is simply inconsistent as we notice apparent paradoxes all the time. We simply haven't explored and discovered all aspects of the complete system and so we must keep our options open for all might be valid possibilities and this reveals (according to this guys' model) our intelligence.
