At a level so superficial as to be almost silly. ..

1) If you have no access to Logic of God, what logic do you use to say the Seat of Wisdom stuff is ridiculous?

2) If the Wisdom of God is foolishness to men and if you hold yourself to be bound to human logic, maybe the ridiculousness is a point in “my side’s” favor.

More seriously, the big juicy problems are What WAS IHS, and what can we know and how can we reason about Godly matters. Is theology possible and how?

Yes in the normal course of things children sit on their mothers’ laps. So we have to ask what it means that this child was God AND that touching just his garment could heal intractable illness.

How do you know that it is?
Its been many, many years since my freshman course in logic, but I seem the remember that the absence of knowledge that something does not exist does not mean that it does exist. Proof of existence requires positive affirmation. The burden of proof is on the one who asserts.
We know that God exists due to reason and revelation. Are you claiming a revelation that the Seat of Wisdom exists other than residing in the Trinity?
The only individual on whom God bestowed the blessing of wisdom superior to that of other humans was Solomon. Can you cite Scriptural evidence of another instance of such a Divine blessing?
The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence but neither is it evidence of existence.
I've learned the Wisdom God is very frequently difficult or impossible for humans to understand. And the absence of understanding is not understanding.
Does any Scriptural evidence exists that Mary was afflicted by any sort of illness, intractable or otherwise?
