Yes. Sometimes people treat intelligence as a single line, or as nested sets, where a greater intelligence can solve all the problems a lesser one can, plus more.

While in some contexts these are useful approximations, they break down when you try to apply them to large differences not just between humans, but between species (for a humorous take, see https://wumo.com/wumo/2013/02/25), or between humans and machines.

Intelligence is about adaptability, and every kind of adaptability is a trade-off. If you want to formalize this, look at the "no free lunch" theorems.
