This just means that the "algorithm of intelligence" is not terribly complicated. So we have hope of reverse engineering it.

That may be the case but I don't think it solves the power mystery. It may be a simple algorithm but it does an awful lot of np-hard/np-complete things on very little power. Among these are absurdly fast learning and fuzzy associative search.
