In the context of the comparative analysis of Gardner's and Sternberg's multi-dimensional and triarchic theories of intelligence, which of the following statements points to the most fundamental and philosophical limitation of Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences?

According to Howard Gardner, there is no single general factor of intelligence; rather, there are multiple independent types of intelligences. However, this theory is criticized by psychologists on the grounds that although skills and abilities may vary, the underlying role of a general cognitive capacity or 'g-factor' in the performance of various mental tasks cannot be denied.
