It does not matter *why* the computer or GM wins. And when you get right down
to it, it is either favorable probabilty or a blunder that allows *anyone* to
win {computer/human/cyborg}. If perfect play happended on both sides, I am not
sure what would happen. It has never occured yet, so far as I know.
An opinion poll on the topic is surely not going to settle this issue. Either
the GM made a strange mistake or not. If it happened once, did all of them
happen that way? And when the computer loses -- silly mistake or not? All in
the eye of the beholder.
