[computer-go] Positions illustrative of computer stupidity ?

[Chrilly]

Attached is a very simple position which adresses the problem of what is 
inside and what is outside. A seemingly logical definition of inside is that 
the point is enclosed by stones of one color and/or the border. Or the 
fireman-algorithm. If one traverses along an own wall and/or the border in 
the same direction and comes back to the point. But in the given position a3 
and all the other 257 intersections are according this definition  also 
"inside". It would never come to the mind of a human player the the 3 black 
stones enclose the 257 intersections.
The message is: Tasks which are for a human completly trivial are hard to 
formalize.
