Agreed.

Personally, I see a possible relation with a Gnu Go weakness, the groups
safety. Let's imagine that a dragon has been considered as not owl
attackable because it managed to escape in a majority (if not all) of the
tried variations. A couple moves later, it might be that these escape
routes have all been cut, but the engine still trusts the cache...
