This part confuses me.  Why would self-play be inferior to a test suite?  I
don't understand what you mean by "small-changes" above...

I always thought the "go deep" experiments were testsuite-based because of the
enormous time reuiqred to play a meaningful number of games with 15-16 ply
searches.  Not true?
