Mike, There is no right way to deal with problematic problems, period (no right way to write that essay or work out that marketing strategy). There are reasonably effective and unreasonably uneffective ways, but no right ways, and you can't be sure in advance which will and which won't be more or less effective.
In defining universal intelligence I have not assumed that there is a right way to write an essay, or work out a marketing strategy, or anything else. All I ask is, if you define a problem and measure performance according to something, how well can the system perform with respect to that measure? How the agent goes about doing this is left open.
