Sure, you're right. Here as in many other areas, the human brain's performance is highly domain-variant. > That said, Novamente would be far better at it than we.

This doesn't require source-code-analysis either, just an understanding of learned parameters existing within the run-time state of the system. Indeed, making the declarative knowledge derived from "rattling off parameters describing procedures" useful is a HARD problem... but at least Novamente can get the data, which as you have greed, would seem to give AI systems an in-principle advantage over humans in this area... It's hard to overestimate the intelligence-enhancement potential of a more fluid process of interconversion btw declarative and procedural knowledge ...
