As you sort of indicate below, this argument does not stand since all
top pros play according to the way they have learned go. Since we all
play the same style of Go but don't know if our style of Go is perfect,
IGS 13d is the rank of the perfect player in the human go tradition.
What if the best first move is 1-1 (it's not but try to prove it :) ?
