After an infinite number of games against programs that learn, the ELO would be
zero (assuming that the learning is not full of bugs).  However, from a
practical standpoint it does not matter, since we won't ever play an infinite
number of games.

On the other hand, games that do not learn should be "punished" since they will
get beaten by learners in real-life, given enough time.
