Gonna edit/​remake that post to make it clearer, but the point anyway was: go is difficult, current go programs do very poorly against even moderately skilled players, so even random sampling beats those attempts. But random sampling is not going to take go programs past human players, and I believe this hype settles as soon as some better decision-making algorhitms are invented.
