Well that certainly set the record straight! I suppose that you consider yourself an authority on the matter. Or, are you just accepting someone else’s opinion (who you consider an authority)?
If Omega stopped and talked to me for a while, instead of just dropping off the boxes, I’ll wager I can understand (perhaps after a learning curve) anything that he wishes to explain to me. If he can not, then he doesn’t understand it himself.
You may be correct about your own ability to understand anything that a superintelligence understands. I don’t know you, and it would not be polite of me to speculate about that. But based on my own experiences, I’m rather confident that I don’t have that ability. I’m also rather confident that there are tools that increase my ability to reason effectively.
“This turns out not to be the case.”

No Dave, I’m saying there is no superintelligence. If God herself cannot explain it, then She doesn’t understand it!
