Given the crushing that AlphaGo did, I don't believe your statement about humans having near perfect play.

Not all humans, obviously, but 9p players really are far, far better than other players. And there's another 9p who has won 8 out of 10 matches against Lee Sedol, so there's nothing superhuman about a 4-1 result at that level.

I'm really just objecting to the description of this as "beyond human". Yes, it's good, and it's many orders of magnitude beyond my level, but so are Lee Sedol and other 9p players.

Can you quantify "crushing"?
