Having to use microchips on each side of the injury is very strong evidence that it's not within our ability to fix properly.

Having not done something cannot be used as evidence that it is within our comprehension. It might be, it might not be, but "we haven't tried" is no evidence at all. Whereas "our intelligence must have finite limits" is evidence that somethings will be beyond us, even if we don't know exactly what.

But would ten thousand idiots have been able to use those mathematical advances to prove Fermat's Last Theorem? If not then there are limits to the "groups of people can do things one person can't".
