Re: [computer-go] citation

My reading a old thread about citation and ladders I saw that:

My question is : is this kind of position ?

The point is as a game I played yesterday,
My opponenent thought is group alive and his group was dead
and I took gread advantage of this.
So, if your program do a wrong analyse and the
corresponding analyse happen in one game, his opponent will take
advantage of it.

PS:
What I found very strange about the discussion of the ladder,
is that ladder is just a translation for the japanese term,
wich has no relation with a stair or a ladder. 
When I discovered that shicho is more general than the classic
stair, I saw the game differently. It especially help me to solve
this kind of example:
