Eliezer is probably at about 1 in 10000 level of ability [of G]

Agreed, and I like to imagine that he reads that and thinks to himself "only 10000? thanks a lot!" :)

In case anyone takes the above too seriously, I consider it splitting hairs to talk about how much beyond 1 in 10000 smart anyone is - eventually, motivation, luck, and aesthetic sense / rationality begin to dominate in determining results IMO.
