Precisely. If the only butterflies there are are human error, then you want someone making as many errors as possible if you want to change anything. They'll still lose most games. Sometimes the errors they make will be the really stupid kind of errors.

But it'll become possible for them to win. A beginner would win a tiny percentage of games against a master. A skilled player playing a master would win none.

Boris Spassky lost because he put one pawn in the wrong place. It wasn't because it was in the wrong place. It was because it was only one.
