There are also problems with incompleteness; if I can think everything a smarter me would think, then in what sense am I not that smarter me? If I cannot think everything, so there is a real difference between the smarter me and the current me, then that incompleteness may scuttle any attempt to exploit my stolen intelligence.
For example, in many strategy games, experts can play ‘risky’ moves because they have the skill/intelligence to follow through and derive advantage from the move, but a lesser player, even if they know ‘an expert would play here’ would not know how to handle the opponent’s reactions and would lose terribly. (I commented on Go in this vein.) Such a lesser player might be harmed by limited knowledge.
