GMs know tactically more than programs, so you can analyze with them,
but not learn from them. The computer doesnt 'show' a new pattern concept
to you. So you don't learn from the computer something. You can learn
yourself only when analyzing with computers, that's why i say you can't
learn FROM the computer.
