Thats just not true and we see this in medicine and research.

An expert in physics still needs to write code in python to do their math and analysis. Its an intelligence issue. That person needs to learn a tool.

In medicin you have the modern labs which automate a lot and you have the old labs. These 'neolabs' are better because of intelligence.

A doctor doing a diagnosis can say 'no clue' or can give you a proper answer. The more intelligent this person is, the better the answer.

You sort of side stepped the author's point, though.

The author is not denying that a lab can be more effective with intelligence, they're arguing that this entire phase of the process of improving health is not the bottleneck.
