I never said it was simple.

Here, I believe the analysis of the GM's and not the analysis of the programs.

Set your programs pondering on the NOLOT set [tough ones], LCT II [tough ones],
and WAC 230.
Let them run for a week, for a month, for a year.  Tell me if they ever solve
them all.

To say that a program ran all night and did not find the answer does not change
the true answer, whatever it is.  Programs can be right, and GM's can be right.
Neither is clearly superior.  I think it to be true though, that program
analysis is much more consistent than GM analysis.  A program will probably make
a lot of brilliant deep tactical choices.  But it seems that they still don't
make any brilliant positional insights.
