sorry, i should have been more clear.
an SE can't be any smarter than a computer player, because it could
otherwise easily simulate a computer player, as described. would it
be slower? yes, by a constant factor that is bounded by the
boardsize. this simulation could be completely paralellized,
Steve,
I wouldagree with you that writing a good score estimator is extremely
difficult, probably as difficult as writing a computer player.
However, your argument of equivalence (if that is how I understand it) does
not follow. Just because you can score any position does not mean you can

As explained by others a strong SE for ALL positions is equivalent
to a strong program.
Instead one might ask for appropriate partial SE:
in many positions the partial SE gives an estimates;
