Subject: Questions about "Position Learning"

Author: James T. Walker

Hiarcs has a learn file which is limited to 64K in size.  Rebel has an 8k file
which appears to be for position learning.  Crafty seems unlimited in this area.
Q. What is the limiting factor on the size of a "Position learning" file?

All the Chessbase engines use a "Retro-Analysis" to analyze the games/files
starting at the end and working to the beginning.  This seems like an excellent
way to find mistakes.
Q.  Why can't this be used for the "Position learning" files?

Humans can examine games and find "mistakes" made by programs.
Q. Why can't humans contribute to the position learning files in the manner?

Just curious.
