Which means that kind of intelligence is really not very useful.
See we know this isn't true, because we know intelligence is terribly useful. Its a logical syllogism, A+B=C, and syllogisms are always right, if both statements A and B are right. Yet this conclusion C is not correct. So this conclusion is wrong, but how?
This is what's known as a flawed syllogism. Why is it flawed? Because at least one of the statements is false. Guess which one.
