> I'm not sure how many pigs have had their intelligence evaluated.
The point is when intelligence of animals is evaluated like this, it's evaluated in very limited scopes, e.g. arithmetic abilities, mental time travel capabilities, abstract thinking capabilities, etc.
To generalize the results from one limited scope test to intelligence in general is flawed and wrong.

It indicates nothing of the sort.
