You can't "play to win" if you don't actually know whether you are winning or 
losing.

Analyze any lost game, and the loser will admit "I didn't see that coming" -  
they were playing 
an imaginary game, not the one actually on the board. Some are honest enough to 
admit: "I was hallucinating there."

We're not talking about 85% of this and 80% of that; we're talking about groups 
which are 100% dead, irrefutably dead, 
get  the casket and buy the flowers and fire the salutes, it's smelling rotten 
already, versus programs which assign a 90% 
estimation of winning the game, buying fireworks and Xmas presents to celebrate 
for this move and the next until ...

Ooops! Is my witty bitty group dead? Whatever were we thinking?
