I would agree if we could have quality games played by computers.
In 19x19, of course. But because computer moves are so vulgar 
when they are tesuji it is because a search has found a killer 
move, not because the program has good style. The killer moves
only apply to that position exactly (or a local subgame whose 
limits are not trivial to determine). There is not much to learn
from killer moves. What programs need to learn is style and from
programs you only learn bad habits.
