When I think about this question,
how long has someone or some people's really trying to code a really good Go
program compared to the amount of time people have been playing and studying it
over in asia and around the world.

Now consider how long they have been programming for it, and look at the
programs, already master level,

give it another 10 years, and you'll see the same affect the programs are having
in chess

masters running scared :)
