Hmmm. That's presumably true of hairyfigment's brain; however, simulting a copy of any human brain would also be a solution to the strong AI problem. Some human brains are flawed in important ways (consider, for example, psychopaths) - given this, it is within the realm of possibility that there exists some human who has no conception of what 'liberty' means. Simulating his brain is also a solution of the Strong AI problem, but does not require solving the liberty-assessing problem.
