The combinatorial explosion is on the side of the TT, of course. But storage space is on the side of "design to the test", so if you can make up a nice decisive question, the designer can think of it, too (or read your blog) and add that. The question here is whether Stuart (and Ned Block) are right that such a "giant lookup table" a) makes sense and b) has no intelligence. "The intelligence of a toaster" as Block said.
Yep. A genuine giant lookup table would be unfeasibly huge - but it might well be intelligent.
It would count as "intelligent" if it had general skills - say the skill to construct long-terms plans that actually worked (as opposed to sounding good in conversation).
