Also It is good that unsound invasions are punished. This is supposed to be game of skill. If someone make silly invasion that does not require answer, the more skilled player i.e player that correctly passes should be awarded a point for his skill.
This is the heart of my argument. I still consider it a feature when my program passes 100+ times in the endgame. I do think that a bot that plays hundreds of endgame moves that amount to nothing and that their opponent does not even need to answer should pay a point for each of those moves. I see it as perfectly fair that the bot with the better ability to read, and thus knows it can pass, should be rewarded for that reading skill.
