> plausibility [would] converge towards correctness

That is the most horribly dangerous idea, as we demand that the agent guesses not, even - and especially - when the agent is a champion at guessing - we demand that the agent checks.

If G guesses from the multiplication table with remarkable success, we more strongly demand that G computes its output accurately instead.

Oracles that, out of extraordinary average accuracy, people may forget are not computers, are dangerous.
