Accurate scoring, even at the end of a game, is very difficult. You have to

Yup. I spent years developing the capability to score endgames
at the point where humans typically leave them. Getting within
a few points of correct 95% of the time is achievable. The other
5% you will either make whopper mistakes or never terminate.
This is now pretty old, but I don't know of any more recent or better
results. http://www.andromeda.com/people/ddyer/go/scoring-games.html
On that testset GNU Go 3.8 finds the correct score in 85.6% of the
cases, is off by at most one point in 98.2% and within 3 points in
99.4%.
And well, it can be argued whether humans in general (as opposed to go
pros) consider the game finished and ready to be scored with open kos
remaining.
