Precisely. There are many optimization processes—and none of them work the way they would need to work for Omohundro’s argument to be relevant.
What do you mean exactly? Humans have the pieces for it to be relevant, but have many constraints preventing it from being applicable, such as difficulty changing our brains’ design. A mind very like humans’ that had the ability to test out new brain components and organizations seems like it would fit it.

Not really, because as you say, there are many constraints preventing it from being applicable, of which difficulty changing our brains’ design is just one, so with that constraint removed, the argument would still not be applicable.
