What makes you think LW is smarter than a human?

On some measures (breadth of knowledge, responsiveness at all hours, words-typed-per-month), LW is superhuman. On most other measures, LW can default to using one of its (human) component's capabilities, and thereby achieve human- comparable performance. I admit it has problems with cohesiveness and coherency.
