Suppose you have a child who has been raised isolated from the world and only taught by a single person - is it fair to say the child is actually a snapshot of another person's intelligence?

The program has been taught and empowered to make decisions the person can't make. It's no more a snapshot of the person than a child is a snapshot of its parents.
