[quote=SaurianDruid]
Intelligence doesn't automatically mean you know things; there is a difference between intelligence and knowledge - intelligence is more about the ability to apply concepts and make plans - though it make it easier to acquire knowledge. But all the examples you are citing fall under wisdom - those are wisdom issues.
In DnD intelligence is directly proportional to your knowledge base. Every skill barring Investigation is a check to see if you know a fact or not. So intelligence in the context that we're discussing is basically your knowledge stat.
