You mean the problem that it is impossible to convince someone that you are smarter than them. Or conversely, it is impossible to recognize when someone is smarter than you. This is a well known problem. It's not arrogance. In order to give an IQ test, you have to know the answers.
IQ tests are timed and typically presented in restricted environments. The questioner can give themselves much more time to prepare and research the question - and can draw on external resources. It is also much easier to ask questions with known answers than it is to answer them - at least in some domains. This is the basis of 'one-way' functions. The best-known example involves large composite numbers that are the product of two large prime numbers. Creating such a 'factoring' question is much easier than answering it - even if you have the exact same space-time resources available to you. -- __________ |im |yler http://timtyler.org/ [email protected] Remove lock to reply. ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
