Intelligence must be sigmoid of course, but it may not saturate until well past human intelligence.

Intelligence might be more like an optimization problem, fitting inputs to optimal outputs. Sometimes reality is simply too chaotic to model precisely so there is a limit to how good that optimization can be.

It would be like distance to the top of a mountain. Even if someone is 10x closer, they could still only be within arms reach.
