“These statements may not include the high class people”
The reason that Sarah (Famous Monkey) is smart, it is because people compared her to other monkeys.
People say you are smart, it is because they compared you to your own kind.
You think you are smart, it is because you only interact with stupid people.
Therefore, the conclusion is that you are not smart, if you compared yourself to the people around the world.

The statements are "logical" in terms of construction. They could be rewritten as syllogisms (close enough) the problem is the assumptions on which the statements are based. A classic case of a logically constructed argument that turns out to be false. Good show! I will use this as an example some time.

You have to decipher what intelligence means before you can decide whether those statements are logical.
