> Obviously playing Kasparov on the board requires more planning ability than managing a McDonald's
Not obvious and in fact I think the opposite is way more likely. Chess is well-defined and self-contained in a way that managing a restaurant with fleshy customers never will be.
That's true. I should clarify by saying I meant that a human playing on par with Kasparov obviously has the planning ability to manage a McDonald's
But that is also non-obvious. Even managing human employees — let alone customers — required a planning ability related to emotional intelligence that many a person with good pure logic ability simply lacks.
Also, there will be hundreds of disparate tasks that are happening in parallel, and even humans still make up frameworks to discover most urgent/important work that needs to be done first.
