"with even very moderate practice, humans can match Ayumu’s performance."

The article is misnamed, the actual score is 1 to 1.

From the article:

> Cook and Wilson (2010b) subsequently trained two university students to a level superior to the chimpanzee.

Sounds like humans do in fact win.

No, it is clear that cheating was involved in getting the Chimps to a score of 1, and thus I refuse to give them that score. (the Chimps didn't cheat, but there was still cheating)
It's not. Because the chimp got an immense amount of practice. Humans would beat it at this rate.
You think human performance would plateau after moderate practice? Because otherwise, humans would surely win with the same practice as the chimp.
