True but I don't believe this can be equated with the known strengths and
weaknesses of computers.  No human GM is as totally blind in some areas as a
computer program, a program is a totally different species, with zero real
intelligence.  Until and unless computers achieve any form of real intelligence
there is no fair comparison here.
