If this was able to achieve any arbitrary number score or even if it was able to consecutively hit scores beyond what a decent player could get, I would agree. But just because playing random works somewhat doesn't make it bad. I'm sure there are new players who would lose in Go to a computer that only placed pieces randomly in valid positions. But with a little skill, another player (or designed algorithm) should be able to almost always beat such the random algorithm.
