Well said.  I agree entirely.

It's either a "man versus machine" match or it's not.  And if it's the former,
why do people get upset at a machine being a machine and a human being a human?!
 I'd like to think the contest is a comparison of strengths and weaknesses, but
not if the machine's strengths are being taken away from it.
