I know nothing about go but I already explained that I read that the reason that you win the best program easily is the weak moves that it plays and it does not mean that it cannot play good moves. The opponent that is in the same level as you may ask the program for a move only when s(he) does not know which move to play. I guess that there are cases when there are 2 possible moves that humans do not know to decide which is better and in this case they may ask the program and even if the program is right only in 60% of the cases it can practically help.
