I beg to differ. All the might of a superior intellect will be of no use if a bear locks a human down and starts to maul them.

The mistaken assumption that GP is talking about is related to conflating intellectual capacity with physical capacity.

Another analogy is a brain in a vat. If the brain only has read capability over the world surrounding it, then no amount of processing power can enable it to change anything about its situation.
