bzip is not very intelligent, true, but it does develop some model of its input. It's not like there's a linear relationship between between compression ratio and IQ or anything.

I'm not arguing that compression algorithms don't produce models of their inputs, some even use neural nets or other stochastic predictors with correction terms etc.

This doesn't address the only part I really commented on, which is the connection between intelligence and compression.
