And? Unless you have the others, that's not very helpful.
All you're doing is nitpicking what I've said without really saying anything yourself.
Because everything has already been said. I'm only now pointing out to you what has already been said in this topic that goes completely against what you are saying.
You should have noticed all the evidence contrary to what you are saying (and already stated in this topic) by yourself, which is why I won't lose much time writing what already has been written.

And all you've done is used different ways of describing intelligence to describe Piccolo. It's the same thing. I don't think he's intelligent because I've never actually seen him do anything particularly intelligent (and have some plenty of cases of him doing dumb shit). Only fans saying he's intelligent. The only intelligent thing I've ever seen Piccolo do was trick Cell into thinking he's beaten, but he immediately fucks that up so that he can boast (and also, that was apparently God's idea anyway).
Nobody in Dragon Ball acts that intelligent, even characters that are referred to as intelligent or geniuses. That's an inherent flaw to the kind of storytelling that Toriyama uses. He never writes characters that smart and even when he does make a character seem smart, often that same character does some stupid shit later on. That doesn't change the fact that, in-universe, they are pretty smart (especially since nobody else is written to be that smart).
However, even considering that, compared to Super Buu and Gotenks, Piccolo is stated and shown to be much smarter. And since that's the only comparison that matters for Buu to want to absorb him for his intelligence, I fail to see what you are trying to say with your argument, other that being completely inflexible with your opinion of course.
