He stated that there is a depth limit in FatMan.  IMO, it is quite likely that 
is the limiting factor.

So my assertion is that scalability based on sound principles is more or
less universal with perhaps a small amount of  self-play distortion, but
nothing to get too excited about.

You've also hypothesized in the past that a scalable program will
remain scalable.  But then why was FatMan scalable for so long and then
flattened out, but MoGo didn't?  So I think you can excuse people for
reserving some doubt, though in general I find your scalability
arguments persuasive.
