We probably shouldn't clutter the mailing list further with this debate,
but *from a practical point of view*, what I most want from a bot is to be
able to analyze decisions that come up when I play humans and that are not
obvious. These positions include "propositions"---artificially
constructed positions that are fun to play. Also, in my playing group,
when we play for fun, we often intentionally steer the game into crazy
backgames. These might be "low probability" by some definitions, but they
aren't low probability in real life.
Here's a true story about one of my friends. After he purchased XG, the
*very first position* he entered into XG and asked for its opinion about
was a "wild" position that had arisen in one of our fun games. He was
disappointed that XG had no clue about the position (as was evident by its
wildly swinging verdicts when one changed the evaluation level).
