> my opinion about Go is that humans just weren't that good at it, after all. We may have thought that we have something special that makes us particularly good at Go, better than machines- but AlphaGo[Zero] has shown that, in the end, we just have no idea what it means to be really good at it (which, btw, is a damn good explanation of why it took us so long to make AI to beat us at it).

I really like that interpretation!
