If you accept that the number of 'dan' ranks for a handicap stone
increases, maybe the difference in rank between god and a 9p may
actually be very, very high as the number of ranks accounting for the
last stone could be dozens or more.

I think it's conceivable that Rin Kaiho makes a mistake (in god's
eyes) nearly every move that is not obviously forced. I'd be surprised
if it's less than a few dozen in a game. Still, maybe the difference
could be 4 stones.
