Could be true, but it isn't the computer's fault, nor is it necessarily the
programmer's.  Taken at face value, the computers can be useful tools even for
the strongest players, can improve the play of the vast majority of players, and
can sometimes make anyone sweat.

It's also fun to watch them play against each other.
