Yes, in the old engine, I roll everything up into a single number, with a resolution of 1/100th of a point (only so the total score would fit in a 16 bit integer on the 16 bit machine I used for development in 1982).
I would say rather, that expert systems are dead in Go because many smart and talented people, including professional experts, worked diligently for two decades on this approach and none were able to get stronger than about 5 kyu. This is a strong experimental result, not an opinion.

Just like in chess there are several things factored in - other than material - and all are estimated as pawns. I guess expert systems really are a dead end in Go. Too many contradicting heurestics
