I have never said anything about experts. I have talked about general consensus which includes experts.

You have provided on example, ONE of someone who believed it would happen.

I have provided one expert plus articles saying it wouldn't happen, plus you can google and find plenty of articles that said we wouldn't get it for a long time.

You cannot find a single example of articles which are claiming that it's was a general consensus we would beat Go.

And so you are the one coming up short not me. My claim is not controversial neither have you shown it is.
