That's why I responded to your post first time - You keep posting stuff with no
merit. 'I am pretty sure' when based on lack of examples carries no message. So
are your past messages. Try to back your oppinions with any evidence... but you
don't post those messages to discuss (as you don't care to discuss with someone
who disagrees - you stated that 2 posts above). So what's your point?

But back to the topic.
Computers *are* great calculators, but they misevaluate way too many positions
still... Do you remember that one?

[D]r2qk2r/1b3ppp/p2bp3/1pp1N3/3PPB2/P1P2Q2/5PPP/R3K2R w
What score your super-duper programs show here?
And yet Anand went for that position and won convincingly (yep, Anand was
black).
Another example is recent K-K when all programs had +2 to +4 and draw was agreed
(it is still not clear where Kramnik made error if any). Both open games.

Chess on 2700+ level is a bit deeper then 16 ply searches with minimal
knowledge. That's my hint for you.
