If the handicap is fair, their chance is about 50/50. However,
rigging komi to give the same chance is NOT what humans do. The
only thing you said that I consider correct is that humans estimate
their chances to be about 50/50.
One thing humans do is to set short term goals and I think dynamic
komi is an attempt to do that - but it's a misguided attempt
because you are setting the WRONG short term goal.
Setting the komi to that the game is 50/50 creates the (correct)
short term goal of gaining a few points, then again, and again ...
