And contradicted by Capcom themselves, seeing how many many monsters they state as being intelligent barely take damage from Dragon. Just a few examples:

Yian Garuga, avoids traps and is said to be a very intelligent wyvern, weakest to water and ice.

Nargacuga, same as Yian Garuga, weakest to fire and thunder.

Simian Fanged Beasts: Stated by Capcom to be intelligent, mostly immune to Dragon.

Nerscylla: Same as the others.

Gypceros, fakes death and status effects in Frontier: Same.

Zinogre: Same as the others.

Barioth: Same as the others.

Raptorial Bird Wyverns: Same as the others.

Gamuto: Same as the others.

Berukyurosu and Doragyurosu, canonically the smartest wyverns in the series: Weakest to ice and fire/water respectively.

And then there's stuff like Jho and Tiggy that are clearly not intelligent yet their primary weaknesses are still Dragon.

If what Capcom said actually made sense, I think those monsters should have Dragon as their primary weaknesses, yet they don't.

Looks like another case of CCE to me.
