the reason why my theory arose is because i questioned: "if we are angry (for example) and we immediately launch into a retaliatory attack, has our mano or 'intellect' & mano-vinnana actually functioned?"

my answer is it has probably functioned but in a primitive way, otherwise the mano could not devise retaliatory plans based on the emotion of anger

so, possibly Thanissaro's 'intellect' does not necessarily assume a 'wise' intellect

Yes. Intellect and its tangible byproduct of "intelligence" not necessarily are wise or Noble. So mano can devise wise ways toward the emotion of anger.
