But don't you think this is stacking the deck in favour of the humans a little too much? I, personally, could never beat my car in a race if it were set up and running properly. However, if I pulled off a few spark plug wires, let the air out of the tires and drained out the oil, I would then stand an excellent chance of defeating it. This is basically what you want to do to the programs. You want to weaken it, like I would weaken my car and then when it loses you can say " see, I told you that the programs are not that strong". Would that really be fair? Regards, Peter
