Right !
Let's just brain-storm about this for a second.

I checked out this site and if what thay claim is true
that would really contain amazing power.
I'm only beginning to think of some plots in really nasty
spy-thrillers that suddenly become not so unbelievable.
This website is really worth visiting if you are interested in 
knowledge engineering.

(http://www.cyc.com)

Applied to Go this probably means that if we can get acces to this cyc
system
and are allowed to interview Go-professionals from time to time we might
be
able to set-up a knowledge-base for Go this way as well. But we would
need a
more or less "world-wide" approach to set up all the rules that are
needed.
I think it can be done in about ten years (including debugging)

To work as good as the web site claims, this cyc must have a very good
search\
strategy.
