I agree with you and would like to add that he is probably not the best non-korean Protoss either. The blog presenting AlphaStar itself only claims he is one of the worlds strongest players and link to this post: https://liquipedia.net/starcraft2/2018_StarCraft_II_World_Ch... showing Mana at 5th best non-korean Protoss players in the World Championship series.

AlphaStar has gotten critisism for it having unfair advantages. It was 5-0 against Mana when it could see and control the whole map at once for example. But after a camera-restriction was given (so it sees the map like humans) it lost 0-1.

With all this said, it is still impressive. Best bot we have by far in sc2!

A very interesting read indeed!

Besides HN how can one find great papers like this? How did you find out about it?

Javascript seems to have many (if not all) of the same issues. I learnt this firsthand a while ago when I knew nothing about these issues and just assumed that getting the Date of a particular time instant would be an easy task. See rant below:

The quote was:

"In a later study, researchers at Stockholm University showed that the main difference in terms of criminal activity between immigrants and others in the population was due to differences in the socioeconomic conditions in which they grew up in Sweden."

That means that the most important factor in terms of criminal activity is that immigrants are largely poor and poor commit more crimes. Not that rich immigrants perform as much crimes as the poorest of non-immigrants.

Or do you disagree with that assesment of what the study said?
