Don,
???? You may, very well, turn out to be right in the end, but I think you are
getting ahead of the data here. And it isn't at all clear to me to how
meaningfully we can compare strength of playouts with strength of alpha-beta
evaluators.
???? This continues to be a very interesting study and I thank you and the
people contributing computer time to it.

Subject: [computer-go] scalability with the quality of play-outs.
It looks like we have a clear trend now. Light play-outs do not scale
as well as heavy play-outs.
This is the same behavior we get with computer chess. For the last few
decades it has been understood that a chess program with a better
evaluation function improves MORE with increasing depth than one with a
lesser evaluation function so it appears that Go is not unique in this
regard or in it's general ability to scale with CPU power.
Here are the latest results:
