The comparison to me is not just favoring the fly's intelligence over the code, For what fly can do cannot be reproduced by code. But fly cannot understand the code at all. This brings in the importance of consciousness again. The superior fly doesn't know it is superior. If so then is it really superior? All this makes sense or doesn't to the third element of the observer. While the fly and code do what they are programmed to do. Makes me want to visit Richard Dawkins ' The Extended Phenotype '.
