Do you want this just for 'remote' programs, or any program?
What if the 'thinking process' is nothing intelligible for anyone
else? Do we want to restrict programs made according to certain
specifications which include that the thinking process is
understandable?
I don't know what the situation currently is in computer-Go, but I
don't think the stakes are high enough to go over the trouble of
cheating through a remote program (it's quite a lot of work). I have
been accused of cheating once, but it was a rare thing to happen.
I think either you allow remote programs and trust them, or you don't
allow them at all. Anywhere in the middle will only cause more trouble.
