Its funny how when talking about the intelligence of animals with much smaller bodies (e.g. insects), we talk about relative brain size compared to ours to prove our cognitive superiority, but when talking about animals with bigger bodies (and brains) than humans, we conveniently change the metric and start talking about encephalization quotients (ratio of brain size to body mass) to ensure that we stay at the top of the hill.
