I don't think you got @Jensson's point.

With enough effort and time we can arrive at a perfect solution to those problems without a computer.

This is not a hypothetical, it was like that for at least hundreds of years.

With enough time and effort you can build an entire science of how arbitrarily complex computations can be done with pen and paper without errors in an arbitrarily long amount of time.

But then you're not measuring the ability to perform the calculations, but the ability to invent the methods that make the calculation possible.
