Well, how realistic is it that the data we don't have will come into existence?
The number of games we'd need between computers and FIDE opponents would
probably require many years of frequent events featuring computers and humans
intermixed, and I don't see anything to indicate that there will even be rare,
meaningful games between humans and computers. So it's kind of a matter of
practically possible vs. theoreticall possible. I don't see it as a practical
possibility. As computers get stronger and stronger, there is less and less
reason to hold more events where humans compete with computers.
