Subject: Maybe all programs should now have a "for humans" and a "for computers"

Setting.
Maybe the wording should be something like this.
"Anti-human" makes it look like it's designed simply to make life hard, i.e.
tedious and taxing for humans, and therefore to be used by massochists.
But in fact it should be more humane really, as it is made to bring out the best
from the human, as well as, at the same time to give him the best "human"
challenge.
Human vs. "for computers" should result in the anti-computer experts getting
very succesful results compared to their ELO, and the non anti-computer experts
getting a relatively low success rate.(until tey get the hang of it, and maybe
to even take tranquilizers before the game!)

I mean that perhaps, it should become official that when a human plays a
program, you are talking about the "for humans" mode.
