Hi don: Yes, you are right. It is also a feature of this people to be extremely arrogant and self confident in an outrageous way to others. Not only the think of his positions as better than they are, but always the adversary is a piece of shit, a corny, old, stupid, worn out kind of guy. I suppose this is part of the psychics preparations to fight. And there is another reason to the unwillingness of GM to face computers: no matter the strenght they have, -computers- they are always dangerous in tactical terms and does not give room to mistakes so you cannot aply what you know of shock tactics, you cannot use tricks, you are not going to trash them by forceful moves and at the same time they benefits of any mistake you commit in that area. That very fact, to face an adversary that is perfect in an area, no matter how narrow the area, is tiresome. Have'n t you ever been defeated by a mere 1600 program because of that? I have been or I should have been without take backs tactical moves... For a GMI that expect to trash very fast at least some of the competence with just automatic use of tactical shots, a computer is a bloodu nuissance that does not give credit if you win, but harms a lot if you lose.
