I think not.

No difference. Auto-learning before or after release. Its just more Ai
added to the program. But for some its not correct.

>I am not speaking about politics.

Oh yes you are. You state that book learning is *morally* unacceptable
when defined as cooking. Thats a very political statement, the more so
because it targets specific individuals, Sandro, Peter and Marty.

>I am not talking about this sarcastic stuff you do.

No. You are more blunt, and seek to wrap up your attacks in 'facts' and
'data' and cooked email groups.

>I am talking about computer-chess.

No. You talk politics. Chess is just the vehicle. Be honest about it.

argue over this ?
