Your intuition is strongly assuming transitivity: "A beats B handily and B beats C handily, therefore this is clear evidence that A beats C handily". I already gave an example where this is not true, and I don't know why you're still doubling down on the same wrong intuition. > DeepMind didn't find any when training in different ways Intransitivity may not occur within AG versions but could occur when compared to humans. You need very different types of strategies for intransitivity to occur. > Are they supposed to run a tournament just to show that a massive improvement that crushes all previous versions can still beat puny humans? I think so, yes. We do this with Chess. Why should Go be different? Deepmind is aware of this problem. See gwern's links if you are interested.
