Arguably, since everything resolves to an axiom, isn’t the solution in any training set ?

The order and combination is what makes it special.

Is current human information access methods wrong, or do we just synthesize data in a way that is inefficient for this sort of problem solving ?

This isn't true. There are solutions that are beyond apparent reason and logic. This is what a "breakthrough" is.

Given an infinite amount of time a team of monkeys will produce Shakespeare. Is that "special?" Perhaps we should leave some room for _how_ those combinations happen and how efficient they are.

They are wrong. The largest search company is also the largest advertiser. I'm surprised that anyone either fails to apprehend this or pretends not to.
