I always assumed a sufficiently reflective and intelligent person could independently figure out most of the Sequences just by living as a human.
Available evidence seems to point to the contrary, unless you are using a quite high value for "sufficiently", higher than the one used by fowlertm in the quoted phrase.
Well, I'm basing this on having seen comments talking about how people had already figured out large parts of the sequences, and my own experience of having independently come up with large portions under different names and being very pleased to find someone had already done so and was now building on them.
There's probably a degree of availability bias and so on, it was just my general impression.
