there is a good reason that there is no response to smirin's statements: what he
said is just common knowledge here. if i remember right, it was about this:
- computers are great in open positions
- computers are weak in closed positions
- computers have no long-range planning capabilities.
this is *really old* stuff! it has been this way all the time, and will probably
be this way for a long time to come...
