Yeah, agreed. The limits of human minds constrain language. To allow these things to reason outside words is in my intuitions a tactic with more abundant paths toward super intelligence, and the exact sort of path we'll have a harder time monitoring (we'll need fancy tools to introspect instead of just watching it think)

My current thinking is that I would support a ban on this style of research. Really hard to set lines for regulation, but this feels like an easy and intuitive place to exercise caution
