Yes but suppose in a few years the "Sony Robot" is good enough that I can use it in a virtual reality mode, where I stand in a virtual reality booth with my golf clubs, and the robot relays everything I need to see from the _real_ course. I swing in my virtual reality booth, the robot mimics my swing perfectly in the real course, and there we go. We can't do that with golf, yet. But we do it with chess _every_ single day via the chess servers.
