But there are also many other people spending time studying Go who didn't reach that level. We ran all that studying in parallel and then selected the best person by running a world championship. You can't only count his effort alone.
True. But that single brain, in that person was that efficient. And represents the theoretical gap in efficiency to the machine.
There are for example, other NNs also being trained to play Go, should all unsuccessful attempts be counted into the machine total? The comparison is almost impossible then.
