I would not agree with this statement. I think it is likely that the current Monte Carlo programs can get good results agaisnt traditional programs, but I don't think they are as strong against people. Certainly they don't play in a human style. One of the resons they do well against knowledge based programs is that they play strange moves (at 19x19). I think people are more able to exploit the way the programs play.
I do agree that since monte carlo is scalable, these programs will improve much faster than traditional programs.
