I can diagnose crackpotitis in just about everyone here, yourself including.
Your "pegs & holes" suggestion is truly Mike-worthy. Yes, a GI must be able
to do it, no, doing it is not an indication of possessing GI. Designing
algorithms that can do simple things is an obsession of simple minds, - the
kind that can't be bothered with generality & scalability. Designing for the
later requires an upfront investment in complexity, that will make an
algorithm horribly inefficient at simple tasks. And someone who can do that
won't post a word on this forum.

Having diagnosed Sergio's crackpotitis, I have made a point of not
talking to him. =P
But here's a question:
Lets say you had a kiddie's play room. In the room you had toys. One of
the toys consisted of a set of pegs and a board with holes in it. The
task is to find the square peg and put it in the correct hole. This
requires a fair amount of spatial intelligence. The peg must be
identified, the hand must be directed to grasp it, rotate it, lift it
into position using nothing but muscle and visual feedback (trickier
than it sounds due to the kinetics of the arm). ; position it in the
correct orientation over the correct hole (which must also be
identified), and then inserted.
Since you fancy yourself an AGI theorist, design a system that is
capable of doing that.
