But I do not agree that most humans can be scientists. If this is
necessary
for general intelligence then most humans are not general intelligences.
Soften "be scientists" to "generally use the scientific method". Does this
change your opinion?

I believe that humans are constrained by *all* the limits of finite
automata
yet are general intelligences so I'm not sure of your point.

It depends on your definition of general intelligence.
Surely there are rules (=algorithms) to be a scientist. If not, AGI would
not be possible and there would not be any scientist at all.
But you cannot separate the rules (algorithm) from the evaluation whether
a
human or a machine is intelligent. Intelligence comes essentially from
these
rules and from a lot of data.
The mere ability to use arbitrary rules does not imply general
intelligence.
Your computer has this ability but without the rules it is not intelligent
at all.
