I agree, there exists some level of math capability at which social manipulation becomes a math problem to be solved like any other. What I’m pointing out is that at human-level math ability, that is not the case, mathematicians aren’t the best manipulators around, they aren’t good enough at math for that. I also think that slightly above human-level math still wouldn’t be enough to make one a master manipulator. The idea is then to increase the barriers to manipulation through boxing and the other methods I mentioned, this would then increase the level of math ability required to manipulate humans. Allowing us to yield slightly superhuman math ability with hopefully low risk of manipulation.
