> intelligence and knowledge are intimately intertwined
Well that's a different proposition.
Two things can be distinct and also intertwined. Two distinct pieces of twine, for example.
As another example: The mind is distinct from the brain. Also, they are intimately intertwined.
Another: The atmosphere is distinct from the tree. Also, they are intimately intertwined.
If you're reading "yes" as "intelligence and knowledge are not intertwined", you asked the wrong question?
