No. The computer can learn from its mistakes in a given position, and can correct its mistakes if another move is better. For example in a given position Hiarcs 8 plays a move that loses in mate in 10 moves. A human can remember that line played against Hiarcs 8 and play the same moves to win the exact same way again. With a learning feature now called positional learning, Hiarcs or other programs with this type of learning feature will remember what they played in that given position that lost in 10 moves and try another move. That move may or may not be better, it may only be losing in another way. It however keeps trying other moves and may find one that saves that position. I don't know how many positions Hiarcs 8 learning feature remembers. It may only be 100 or 1000 positions, but usually the positional learning file is not unlimited. So it can forget what its learned. You can also delete the .lrn file and make Hiarcs 8 forget all of what it has learned.
