Here's my guess: There are things that humans can figure out and do, there are things that are possible, but that humans haven't yet figured out to do. It seems strange to define AGI as "Machines can do everything we can do, but not more". For AGI should a machine be able to figure out calculus(and everything that came with it)? Because that was beyond human intelligence for millennia. You can answer the question of "Is this machine as smart as a human" by giving it the same data as a human and asking it questions, how would you ever determine if its intelligence is truly general?

AGI is not about knowing how to use some human system (like calculus). It is about having a general reasoning capability that is similar or better than human. One of hard things about AGI is that it is not clear what this entails (ie what exactly IS human general reasoning capability).

The straw man would be if taking all the knowledge that humans have generated in the world today, is the AI able to synthesize a novel result and explain how it came to that result, why that result is true, etc. Expanding upon that, can the AGI identify a high-level gap in the knowledge available and communicate what data would be needed to fill that gap (e.g. provide an experiment design that would allow it to answer a question).
