DCNN clearly have some ability to generalize from learned data and
perform OK even with unseen examples. So I don't find this a very
compelling argument. It's not like Monte Carlo playouts are going to
handle all sequences correctly either.

Evaluations are heuristic guidance for the search, and a help when the
search terminates in an unresolved position. Having multiple independent
ones improves the accuracy of the heuristic - a basic ensemble.

Are you sure this is correct? Especially if we allow leaky ReLU?
