1)I agree that there are examples when programs give bad moves even after long
search but I believe that it is only minority of the mistakes of computers and
there are not less positions when GM's give moves that are weaker than computer
strength of the top programs and not only tactical mistakes.

Computers already did performance of super GM's in some tournaments.


2)Another problem is to know if the computer does a mistake
because it is possible that humans may believe that a move is a mistake
when computers after long search know better and it is also possible that there
is more than one good move and humans who find a winning move do not care to
check that it is the only winning move.

Humans may try to check every possible move by analysis with computer
but it takes time.
