You can't separate tactics from position. It sounds like you are saying that a
human can't be better at tactics because he also uses positional advantages to
help out his tactics. If the question was "Are computers better at calculating
than world champion humans?" then your response would have made sense.

In computer chess you can separate the tactics from the positional play, but not
in human chess. Tactics guard positional advantages, and positional advantages
promote tactics.
