When you look at bot behaviour in the face of multiple semeais the 
reaction is "there has to be a better way".
But trying to isolate semeais from the rest of the board gets you back 
into the mud that go programming was stuck in before mc.
You need to be able to formulate improvements within the mc paradigm.
Something along the line of finding move equivalency classes by 
statistical means.
