Sorry Ed., but there >is no evidence. We have not enough data to prove but do you have evidence that it is not the case? There are things that are productive humans but are not productive against computers: 1) playing faster when the opponent is in time trouble 2) choosing the right opening and not going to positions that computers do not understand. The game of odell hall against genius3 is an example of not choosing the right opening by Genius3. It is not a problem against computers who do not know the positional plan of white but is a problem against humans. 3)having a different evaluation function that prefer positions that humans do not like. 4)Consider the fact that the human may go wrong and knowing what kind of tactical mistakes humans do. I remember that I saved a lost game by a move that no computer will do because they do not consider the possibility that the opponent will do a mistake and believe that -5 is better than -7 with a practical chance for a draw.
