If it bluffs on a rare occassion against the right opponent in the right situation, it could be very effective. Imagine Kasparov's nerves in his next computer match when in a complicated position the computer "bluff sacrifices", but he can't see the threat. Float some pre-match "rumors" that the computer is seeing unusually deep tactics with this "new algorithm" on the latest greatest hardware. Get the media badgering him about his loss to Deep Blue. It would be very interesting to see his response :-)
