I disagree on this point. If your advantage isn't enough to change the end
result, then it's not really an advantage is it?

But his improvements against the weaker program will be of no use against the
grandmasters. He will still get thrashed.

Yes, it's games against the grandmasters will help it to beat the grandmasters,
but the games that it played against the weaker player that it previously
surpassed will have no effect on it against other programs. Actually, it might
have an affect on it, but you can't say that it will always be the case.
