"Anything that you can consider, it can also consider but in more depth."
I think it's important to note the distinction between "it can also consider" and "it did also consider". Super Intelligence is not the same as Infinite Intelligence, there are still physical limitations and time components that can still get in the way.
It would be helpful to be able to quantify the speed of intelligence, and the idea surface area of a task with these systems. Meaning, how fast can the AI reason, and how many ideas are there to think about connected to a given task, and how much thinking is required for those ideas.

It’s just that those mistakes are not accessible to us humans. It is operating in a much higher plane of understanding compared to us. A “mistake” to stockfish looks like: I searched 30 ply down but my opponent searched 35 ply down and found a superior sequence of moves. For stockfish to make the kinds of chess mistakes that humans make, it would similar to if I failed to calculate 123+123=246. It’s not that 123+123 is particularly easy on the grand scale of intelligence: animals cannot do it. But it’s completely inconceivable that I could make that kind of mistake.
