I think only a religious fundamentalist can claim such a  thing.

When half a million Go games do not contain all fundamental Go knowledge, it
means that there is fundamental Go knwoledge that is not used in 125 million
positions by pro's, amateurs and beginners. I can gladly do without such
"fundamental knowledge".
