It seems like you're missing the point slightly. Noone said that human players and computer programs should abide by the exact same restrictions. That would not be possible since the approach to the game is very different. The restrictions you mention aren't necessary, since computers have similar advantages on other areas, which maintains the balance. There's a difference between learning by doing and copying without thinking. I leave who's doing what as an exercise :o). Best wishes... Mogens
