[computer-go] Monte-Carlo Go Misnomer?

Is MC Go a misnomer for programs in this genre not using simple random
playouts and combining with other techniques like pattern matching?

Technically, does the general Monte-Carlo method require random or
pseudo-random sampling?

If so, should we dub a new name for these non-random deep play-out
sampling based go programs?  Maybe Quasi-MC or Directed
Sampling...
