A good point if it's important to distinguish between human and computer
opponents when analysing your games. However, a lost game is a lost game and
should analysed due to that fact alone independent of the opposition.

I'm still of the opinion that it's rather harmless to play "advanced" chess
against a computer opponent compared to cheating against a human player. But
maybe I'm just against the idea of computer program "rights" in general :o).
