I think you didn't read far enough... (See aliens questions later on) That having been said, I think it's fascinating that most of these questions are just that, but are impossible to answer at present. The probability space is just too large. It's one of the fascinating aspects of go. It's a very simple set of mathematical rules that yields incredibly complex behavior and is practical impossible to brute force "perfect" gameplay as a result. I.e. you can't search the full space, you have to learn to predict optional strategies and always wonder if there isn't a better solution somewhere.
