The purpose is to see if there is some sort of "simplification" available to the emerged complex functions encoded in the weights. It is a typical reductionist strategy, especially where there is an attempt to converge on human conceptualization. Given the complexity of the nuances in Go, my intuition says that it will show excellent improvement in short term play at the cost of nuance in longer term play.
