A truly profound observation.  A logical corollary is that all the
accomplishments of chess programmers and GMs "is like nothing" in the grand
scheme of things.  Indeed, all of Man's efforts are as nothing, with no
exceptions.  We should all go out and shoot ourselves!

The "highest level" of human intellect is nothing to brag about.  It, too, "is
as nothing" in the grand scheme of things.

Sorry, Rolf, but all of your "learning" is also "as if nothing" in the grand
scheme of things.  How do they say?  All of mankind's ramblings are "much ado
about nothing."

With "all" your "science education," you know less than 0.000000001 percent of
all that is worth knowing.  You should not belittle the efforts of pour "dumb"
Amir for his efforts.  Of course, all his efforts are "as if nothing" in the
grand scheme of things, too.  Even Kasparov deserves credit for his trying.  I
was truly entertained following his games with DJ [and later reading Amir's
comments] and am grateful to Kasparov and the Junior programmers for that.  But
I, too, "am as nothing" in the grand scheme of things.

Should we quit trying?  I don't think so.
