A corollary for natural intelligence: if you can prove that all foos are bar, and that all foos are not bar, that's a good time to suspect that no foos actually exist.

Because it's useful and impossible till very recently.

Because there is no single widely accepted definition of intelligence.
No widely accepted definition, but fact retrieval is outside of any of the ones with which I'm familiar.
