What you describe as "moving the goalposts" could also just be explained as simply not meeting the standard of "as intelligently as any human on any subject".

Even in the strongest possible example of LLM's strengths applying their encyclopedic knowledge and (more limited) ability to apply that knowledge for a given subject I don't think they meet that bar. Especially if we're comparing to a human over a time period greater than 30 minutes or so.
