    I have no problem with the idea that she's an amazing chess player, but one example is not "proof". It's evidence that adds to a growing body of evidence. It's fascinating. It's intriguing. It's raises the possibility of amazing advances.

    But it's not "proof".

    Oh how I hate the hyperbole of journalism. It seems that everything has to be biggest, fastest, strongest, "best", epic. I wish we could be given the facts and the story. That's interesting enough.
