So once again you present your straw man argument. Not to say that you don't knock it down so very effectively, but then you built it so you know its weaknesses. Assuming your infantilizing names are referring to Stick, Mochy, and Michi, just because they find it useful as a tool to improve their game it does not follow that they want to "grow up to be like the bots" in anything other than your nonsensical imagination.

Speaking of which, it is odd, seeing as how your imagination is so vivid, that you can't conceive of how a method that exploits a weakness in the bot's programming doesn't necessarily remotely transfer to real world playing. Unlike the bots, the aforementioned trio can think and are fully capable of knowing when they should "play like the bot" and when they shouldn't. What you fail to grasp, presumably because your head is far too far up your own ass, is that nobody here is advocating blindly playing like XG or GNU, but rather using these powerful tools to help analyze theories and strategies.

And of course you're not barred from theorizing all you like. Just don't be disappointed if you don't get many converts. Of course I know you won't be. You "know" you're superior to the rest of us. It's adorable.
