I don't think you understand what objective criteria means.

Why do Tiger fans use Beatty when it suits them but dismiss him when he doesn't?

Selectively quoting trainers and even scientists without providing objective studies that are recognized as fair measures of intelligence does nothing but confirm your inherent bias.

 

Your "criteria" is not universal. It is rules that you are using to disregard actual statements that were made on intellegence.
The fact remains, these are big cat experts, one way or the other. They have far more right to make observations and their opinions hold water.
You can dismiss or try to change the "criteria" but at the end of the day, tigers have larger brains, they are observed to be smarter and that is the truth.
