Very well put Mark. Humans change things around to put it in a form
that makes sense to us, and we can digest it by separating these things
in this way. But trying to force this paradigm on a computer may
be the wrong thing to do.
As Bob says, if we define tactics to be things we can calculate then
what is tactical for Deep blue might be positional for Genius or
Rebel.
We could simply use this definition:
Tactics: Things we can directly calculate.
Positional: Things we must guess at.
