I believe that our advantage is the following: > The fact that we ask questions. Remember that mathematical induction was invented/discovered because we wanted to answer the following question: *how can we prove* $1+2+...+n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$ is valid for every $n\in \mathbb{N}$? If we ask questions we are getting better.I doubt that a computer would invent/discover group theory in order to investigate the unsolvability of algebraic equations because there would be no question like > **COMPUTER:** "We can solve the $ax^2+bx+c=0$ but what about $ax^5+bx^4+cx^3+dx^2+ex+f=0$"?
