Pretty much the case. Each game depends on a large number of probabilities, so the number of outcomes is nearly infinite.
About half of what we attribute to skill, especially when it comes to in-game coaching, is luck. The skill is in the management of the misperceptions that lucky events impute to the person making the decisions.
It would take a computer trained in psychology and criminal psychopathy to be Bill Belichick.
I can no longer think of a single reason to have Windows on any computer I build. And it's getting about time to build a new one (last one was balls-out enough that it's still a fast mover and slicker'n goose-shit over 3 years later, but cracks are starting to show in its compatibility, upgradeability, and reliability). I can't remember the last time I went to Excel instead of Google Docs.
By xmas I expect I'll have bolted up a new head, and I doubt this time I'll automatically choose Microsoft's task scheduler to run on it.
Piracy is when a syphilitic sailor plunders legitimate commerce in a region of the sea, terrorizing and looting ships, murdering their captains, and taking wenches and boys prisoner.
This stuff is white-collar IP infringement, and calling it piracy is just demonizing it to make political inroads into putting more public resources towards stopping what is, in most cases, barely a misdemeanor.

The Colts got lucky, there. The odds were on Belichick's side.

Computers routinely kick humans' asses at No-Limit Holdem.
Bullseye.
This is why we desperately need to stop giving pro sports leagues monopolies.
This stuff needs to be diluted down to its rational level, and fast.
She's been replaced, too. By a Geminoid.
Someone ran the numbers for the NFL about a decade ago. I've been carrying it around in my PDA/Palm phone/Google phone ever since.
Coaches, to a man, vastly underestimate the value of going for it on 4th down. Vastly.
The only way to win is not to play.
Just don't let your enemy know that's your strategy.
that came true the day the clock was invented
I bet you'd do as well on the field if you had a computer picking your plays and feeding Duke Nukem quips into your helmet radio.
We'll make more.
We as a people stopped growing intellectually at about the time we started allowing money to make our decisions for us.
Replace the coaches and players with robots. Or just simulate the whole thing in cyberspace.
Games are exercise. Pro sports forget that. A big lot.
To make up for it I shall hum the theme from underdog while I walk to the bathroom.
So has anime, but if I'm on the ISS and the theme from Astro Boy comes out of the speakers, I'm unlikely to recognize its cultural significance.
And yet the guy who owns their cell-phone company is one of the richest men in the world.
Then use Ubuntu.

That isn't piracy.

That's because they got sued and/or indicted for gouging.
Is it up to the consumer?
What if instead of singing and hoping you'll pay something between $0 and $infinity, the busker puts up a sign and says "choose your song for $1".
The price is no longer up to you, and he doesn't have to do any work if you don't want to pay the price.
If you want free information, you're free to produce your own.
Otherwise, act like an adult and compensate others for their effort.
If you wish to reach the infinitive, you must first reach halfway to it.
Being geeked by this is an indicator of one's nerdiness. I wonder what the non-American crew thought of it.
I was gonna lament your redundifying of my post below, but then I noticed you confused a signer for a drafter.
Try drafting one with a bird feather dipped in ink you made yourself, written on lamb skin, freehand.
Hell, try just copying one that way.
I read this as
