[computer-go] Explanation to MoGo paper wanted.

[George Dahl]

Pro games are cheating unless the program is one of the players. :)

You are right though, sometimes compromises must be made when
"seeding" an algorithm.  My ideas on using domain knowledge from
humans are sort of about maximizing a ratio.  The ratio of program
performance to domain knowledge added (by humans, directly).
Obviously it is hard to quantify these sorts of things, but if program
A is 3 times as good (whatever that means) as program B and uses only
twice the human given Go knowledge, I would rather have program A.
