Subject: why not

why is not more time spent on better learning for programs???? while there is a
vast number of legal positions ,the number of positions that a strong program
will encounter is much smaller .plus just not playing a position when there is a
negative score on that position doesn't really work because :sometimes the bad
move is 5 or 6 moves back, but takes that many moves to be realized .sometimes
the losing move is not easily know .the only way to go is to record winning
positions and delete losing ones .that way all you are ever left with are the
winning positions that can stand the test of time .why is this not done .instead
a programmer will spend hours trying to fine tune a evaluation that may play
better in some position and woarse in others , at least it plays different
????????
