One "anti-foom" factor is the observation that in the early stages we can make progress partly by cribbing from nature - and simply copying it. After roughly "human level" is reached, that short-cut is no longer available - so progress may require more work after that.
Valid argument, but we seem to be already making some progress beyond that, by noticing human cognitive biases and trying to correct them.
