Someone pointed out that a sufficiently powerful intelligence could search all of design space rather than relying on "luck".
I read it on the Web, but can't find it - search really sucks when you don't have a specific keyword or exact phrasing to match.
I don't think that really captures the idea of intelligence. A sufficiently patient calculator can churn out the 10^10th digit of pi by caluclating pi, but an intelligent calculator would figure out how to do it in about a minute on my desktop computer.
The point being that the label "dumb luck," while vaguely accurate, views discovery too much as a black box. Which is sort of ironic from this article.
