Nor did I say that good practical reasoning requires intellectual sophistication. I cited Jonathan Haidt to say that this and intelligence just makes the rationalising of flawed intuitions more sophisticated.

I don't think I accused you of that, but I suggested the term 'premodern' implies 'less well developed' etc
