Testing machines may not be "easy" - but it isn't rocket science.

It's a lot harder than rocket science.

I test machines every day. It doesn't seem to be that difficult to me.

The point was that this problem is framed badly. Humans won't be testing a super intelligent machine's morality. There's the man-machine symbiosis to consider.

Machines get tested by humans in conjunction with machines. When I test machines I use other machines to test them with. As we go along, machines will do more and more of the work. The testers will be getting smarter in addition to the testee. This isn't a case of: humans on one side, machines on the other.
