In theory I see what you're saying. There are physical things an octopus could conceivably do that I never could on account of our physiology rather than our intelligence. So you can contrive an analogous scenario involving only the mind where something that is clearly an AGI is incapable of some specific task and thus falls short of my definition. This makes it clear that my definition is a heuristic rather than rigorous.

Nonetheless, it's difficult to imagine a scenario where something that is genuinely human level can't adapt in the field to a novel task such as driving a car. That sort of broad adaptability is exactly what the "general" in AGI is attempting to capture (imo).
