If the machine has no weak points then it is impossible to play exactly against
the weaker points of the machine and there is no reason to assume that it is
impossible to do a machine with no weak points.

Today there is no machine with no weaks points and there is no machine that can
pass the turing test(every machine can do positional mistakes that I do not
expect humans even with 1800 elo rating to do) but it is practically impossible
for most of the humans to play exactly against the weaker points of the machine
because you cannot go practically to the positions that the machine does not
understand.
