And the next question is how does this affect computer vs human discussions? I point back to several 'computer killers' over the years, that were very strong against computers, but which were terribly weak against humans. Lexentrique from the late 70's comes to mind as one. We will see Tiger vs two humans soon in Ed's 6 game match vs humans. That will tell us more.
