This seems like a poor metaphor, considering that we can understand what constituent things would make up a superintelligence, even if we don’t understand the whole.
This discussion centers too much on the definitions of words like superintelligent and reminds me a lot of philosophical discussion about omnipotence. Both seem to rely more on defining concepts first and then assuming their existence as a consequence.
