It is also the point of view from the letter that I had in mind when I wrote less intelligent.
An Olog-hai might not be able to speak Westron, but they do use the Black Speech, and personally I really can't imagine an Olog-hai - had these creatures been vulnerable to sunlight - be so stupid so as to argue until the sun rose.
It is true that much of their intelligence comes from Sauron who was controlling them, but this does not change the fact they were smarter.
