Actually you'd be surprised. Sure, no one will be so bold as to say to say that
they beat their cybernetic partner regularly (provided we're talking about a
strong program), but I do occasionally (with no takebacks or watching their
analysis) beat my programs, even on my K6-2/350. Others have reported successes
as well, and I have no reason to doubt their word. The programs aren't perfect,
and do screw up positionally.
