It is of no consequence what words WE use to describe this. Journalists
will ALWAYS print it that way. If you use too many big words or ideas
that are accurate but convoluted, you will either not get the publicity
or the journalist will make up something even more absurd.
Sorry if I am a bit over sensitive ... getting misquoted, my work
ignored,
and getting credit for the work of others in this past week has me very
aware of how these people work. They are on a deadline and meeting the
deadline with a headline that captures a lay reader's attention is the
only
priority. I know how my attempts to get a correction were greeted ...
Cheers,
David

Hi all,
I'd like to say first "Congratulations!" to MoGo team.
I have a question. Why do you all call the game as "human vs.
computer"? It's obviously a match between Kim 8p and MoGo, a program
developped by MoGo team, running on a supercomputer.
As both MoGo and the supercomputer were developped by human, the game
is clearly (a special type of) human vs. human.
I'm afraid it may raise unnecessary emotional thoughts of against
computers among people. It might be better to call such a game
something of a style "a professinal Goplayer vs. a program with its
developper(s)" to emphasize the program was created by human.
