   It's not even intelligence at all.  Gravity pulls the  through the   
   gaps in the sieve, and the only intelligence is in the person who molded the   
   sieve itself.  The sieve doesn't even have a decision engine of any kind at   
   all.  And the more I see the word "sieve", the less it looks like a real   
   word.  How'd that happen!
