Yep, I didn't call them more intelligent either, just extremely smart.
Could you explain the difference between intelligent and smart, in your view? I would have considered them pretty much the same.
Seriously?  I was saying that I did NOT say they were more SMART than other breeds.  I just said that Arabs as a whole are extremely SMART.

Does that work for you?

I think maybe the confusion is coming from the fact that I'm assuming that most breeds would be considered of average intelligence, and so to call a breed as a whole smart would be to indicate that you considered that breed smarter than the average, i.e. smarter than most other breeds. But it seems like you're working off the basis that... Arabs are smart but so are all other breeds? Whatever, I'm happy to ascribe this as a victory for internet miscommunication and let it drop.
