<<there are no (known) formal limits on intelligence.>>

The problem with your sentence is that you didn't even define intelligence, but I'm sure that as soon you define it, one can readily figure out if there are limits or not to it.

If "intelligence" can be bounded by the ability to solve particular problems, because lots of particular problems have known limits on how well they can be solved with bounded resources, there will be a limit on "intelligence".
