Of course it is. Once computers do dominate, the public will lose interest in
them, and I think the computer chess field will shrink to just a few of us
computer nerds. It is ironic that the people who want so hard for computers to
dominate as quickly as possible are actually just moving the date forward when
computers are unable to interest the average chess player. People used to holler
and cheer when there were airplane - auto races. No such thing now, and computer
chess will go the same way. :(
