No, I said: prove that it contributes more to a playing program than an
ordinary pattern-matcher does and I'll acknowledge it has greater value. So
far you haven't convinced me of that. And since I think an ordinary
pattern-matcher is worth much less than a life-and-death module, it seems
logical to think the same of yours.

I'm not asking you to prove just anything, I'm asking you to back up your
own claim that your system has more value than an ordinary pattern-matcher.
