I dont know about how animals brain work, but someone questioning something doesnt indicate any higher levels of intelligence as far as I am aware. I think we would both agree that people questioning if the earth is flat doesnt mean they are smarter than usual for that question.

Well, it does.
I think we would both agree that people questioning if the earth is flat doesnt mean they are smarter than usual for that question.
Just because asking question is an indicator intelligence doesn’t mean everyone that asks a question is intelligent. It’s a corallation. Also you can be intelligent while also being misinformed or having wrong facts. They are not mutually exclusive.
Asking a dumb question can actually indicate lower intelligence because they dont understand or can directly disregard false information. I am not seeing how you can relate asking question to intelligence, I dont think there is any correlation.
I dont think its the question but why someone is asking a question. If you take vaccines, someone could be questioning the COVID shot due to someone yelling on a podcast saying it will kill them vs someone being able to look at statistics and wondering if its effective.
If by intelligence you mean sentience, then I would agree.
I definitely do not mean that as that would be very, very wrong. Most animals are sentient but they do not question things.

Yes, obviously some questions are excluded. Asking for the time is definitly not a time of intelligence. I didn’t think I needed to mention that.
