Default Re: Can a bot settle the luck/skill argument?

[ QUOTE ]
The top roshambo bots would beat any humans who tried to 'play against' them. Doesn't mean anybody's going to be convinced paper rock scissors is a game of skill all the sudden.

Why not?

To put it another away, if a bot can crush poker over the long run, that pretty much proves poker IS NOT a game of luck, doesn't it?

I guess this holds true for PRS as well, but so what? If one was sharp enough to spot his opponents' tendencies, and those opponents continued to play him for money, it is plausible one could become a pro at roshambo. It's silly, but that doesn't mean it isn't valid.

Bots can't exploit luck.
