The point of the "continuation" play is to prove the "alive" or "dead" claim.
Each side must play out the position until both sides agree on the state of the
stones. This may require playing until the stones have two eyes and are
unconditionally alive or else playing until the stones are captured and removed
from the board. The point of this "continuation" is not to arrive at a new
final board position and score, but to reach an agreement about the status of
stones in the original final board position. If the stones were actually
"unsettled" this can get quite messy.
