Ok, but why then doesn't the same apply to the human player? Looking at the game Petr mentioned at the (2nd) end the human player was again allowed to mark groups dead *without* explicitly capturing them! I had always assumed that in the cleanup phase the rules are changed so that finally all remaining stones will be assumed to be alive. However, apparently the human player is allowed to play under a different set of rules, which enables him to cheat.
