> makes cheating indistinguishable from normal human play under analysis.

From what I understand, Niemann got into trouble because people thought that he wasn't able to adequately provide the analysis i.e. the reasoning behind some of his own moves. You'd need a live auxiliary AI to tutor the cheater in how to explain why a particular move was made.

Well, that's only one of many reasons. GM Hikaru was laughing at him on his channel when replaying that interview with Hans - a lot of his answers were strange and deflective. A player at this level should be able to fluently describe their analysis at any move in the game.

At one point he described one of his own moves as "a weird move" without offering any explanation, sounding more as if he was observing the move rather than being the one who had actually analyzed it and chosen to play it!
