In fact, let's make it an ordinary IM. Suppose that at 4096GHz, we have an ELO of 3000 (which would be a pretty good estimate if we could get that fast somehow). And suppose our IM has an ELO of 2400. That's a difference of 600 points. Our IGM will still score 3% of the points. That's not a lot, but while the scoring drops off precipitously, it *never* gets to zero. No matter how large the ELO difference becomes.
