I concluded that the all time no. 1 master Go Seigen's secret is 1. learn from all masters; 2. keep inventing/innovating. Most experts do 1 well, and are pretty much stuck there. Few are good at 2. I doubt if computers can invent/innovate.

I would have thought (he says casually) that some kind of genetic algorithm of introducing random moves and evaluating outcomes for success would be entirely possible, no?

[DanBC]

There's a large space of random moves. How many are likely to be useful?

[jibalt]

Do you ask that of natural evolution, too?

"I doubt if computers can invent/innovate."

Sheer ignorance.
