Eh, this line of debate is about using beliefs as indicators of intelligence, so for this discussion, 'what is believed' is the important factor.

Any belief is dependent on our other beliefs. Only if you assume two people have the same experiences can you simply compare a belief to determine intelligence.

You could argue that the experiences of people is close enough to draw a meaningful inference just from the fact of belief but I doubt its very reliable.
