Reasons behind the WSO monkey ranking

Not to challenge the ranking system in any way but I am curious: fellow monkeys/near humans, have you wondered why the lowest rank on WSO is Chimp instead of Monkey? Isn’t Chimp more intelligent than Monkey? (https://news.mongabay.com/2006/08/orangutans-and-…). I am not affiliated with the Duke researchers quoted in the study, by the way.
