I think that you overevaluate correspondence masters.

I played some games against ICCF correspondence IM's SIM's and one GM and I did
not get the feeling that they are in general better than computers and I got the
feeling that in part of the cases they were simply oursearched by my programs.

I also think that you underestimate the potential of computers that is clearly
better than what they do today.

The question is not what computers can do(they can do every task better than
you) but what programmers know to teach them.

I do not know and prefer to assume nothing.
It is a bad idea to assume things about thing that you know nothing about its
evaluation.
