It's kind of sad to see these statements repeated so often ...

* "ultimately handily defeat StockFish in almost every single game it plays against it" the vast majority of the games were draws actually

* Regarding "stockfish is too materialistic" ... if you watch last TCEC's premier division and superfinal, you'll find games where stockfish offered to sacrifice a lot of material, lc0 accepted the sacrifice and went on to lose far later in the game.

* It's unknown (except for people at deepmind, probably) if a0 is still stronger than stockfish. stockfish gained a lot of elo since the published match (and would beat the stockfish version a0 played against in more games than a0 did)

Yeah, the parroting is sad. Perhaps people have belt buckles engraved with "In Google we trust".
