You have to be at least as smart as EY or Justin Corwin to describe the arguments that convince the human guardian.

It depends on the intelligence of the other person as well, and even more on things other than intelligence. By that I don't mean non-IQ things like charm, but propensity to take the outside or inside view, intuition on how many boxes to take in Newcomb's problem, susceptibility to threats, etc.
