Although technically correct (the best kind), that is a weak point. In a more formal sense, "playing" a 2 player game means something like approximating the move in a game between 2 min-maxing oracles. Humans can't do that anywhere near as well as KataGo.

A human can, technically, beat a superhuman Go AI. But the process is clearly playing the opponent rather than the game, the moves are obvious weak moves. Humans aren't winning by playing good moves, the challenge being posed to the AIs isn't intimidating at all and they will defend against it sooner or later.
