I'm not sure this thread should be continued, but anyway.. this perfect 
player of yours seems to be assuming that there is only one line of perfect 
play, which is a tough nut to prove.  There may be 100 perfect replies to 
each move.

The perfect player sees the next perfect move. If he sees further, he's 
reading the opponent's mind.

If the perfect player goes for a pint after hearing the komi announced, it's 
because of experience in playing him/herself.
