I think you have a different interpretation of the singularity from the common one. I agree that machines have better computation/calculation speed, and memory. But the argument against all of that is that all the information that the machines know, still came from humans. If a robot finds an unknown substance/element from space, it will not know what to do with it. It needs human intervention to understand it and use it. But after the singularity, machines will really be smarter than humans, and wouldn't need their guidance. They can discover and create things unknown to man. They can progress and grow all on their own.
