I disagree. It has taken many years of effort to get GnuGo to somewhere near
14 kyu level. How many 14 kyu players can reconstruct the game afterwards?
Not many, I believe! We may be interested in perfect play and perfect
players but we should not expect such perfection from our programs in the
foreseeable future!
