Not bizarre at all.

I was making the point complexity requires intelligence.

Sorry if you missed that.

What is complexity?

Would you consider a tangle of wire coat hangers to be complex. You know, the tangled mess that is sometimes found on the floor of a child's closet. What intelligence was required to put that together?

How about those strings of Christmas lights that were in the box in the attic all year? That mess looks very complicated and sometimes takes hours to sort out. I had to set up the tree at my aunt's house last year and that box of lights was so complexly interwoven, I thought I would never figure it out. What intelligence put that strange thing together?

Maybe I'm still missing your point unless it is simply your personal incredulity.
