But you have to consider the fact that I doubt neither Morgoth or Sauron spent much resources on the education of Orcs, probably not much more than handing out cards with picture of men, elves, hobbits, and dwarves with a giant "KILL" written over the picture...

Also when you look at the 4 orcs that seem to posses inteligence in lotr, Gorbag, Shagrat, Ugluk, and Grishnakh. All have one thing in common, they are all high ranking leaders. Possible Sauron notices inteligence in his servants and promotes based on the most capable?
