Convinced of what? It's a goal, not a conclusion, and there aren't any examples yet that I'm aware of. If a human-like training partner can be devised that, as a consequence, also plays a little weaker against other computers, that would be a worthy achievement. Current programs cannot be dumbed down in a human-like way and are of marginal utility in instruction. I.e., they can show you why a move is bad, but they can't tell you why. Nor can they tell you why a move is good. If, on the other hand, ChessBase remained as obsessed about bashing other comps as they have been in the past, this would detract their considerable resources from the more worthwhile goal (commercially and practically) of making a smarter, more amateur-friendly engine.
