It's more intellectually lazy to think boolean logic at a sufficient scale crosses some event horizon wherein its execution on mechanical gadgets called computers somehow adds up to intelligence beyond human understanding.

It is intellectually lazy to proclaim something to be impossible in the absence of evidence or proof. In the case of the statement made here, it is provably true that Boolean logic at sufficient scale can replicate "intelligence" of any arbitrary degree. It is also easy to show that this can be perceived as an "event horizon" since the measurements of model quality that humans typically like to use are so nonlinear that they are virtually step function-like.
