This study would appear to disagree: http://www.pnas.org/content/109/6/2138
Decreased activity in the ACC/medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) was a consistent finding and the magnitude of this decrease predicted the intensity of the subjective effects. Based on these results, a seed-based pharmaco-physiological interaction/functional connectivity analysis was performed using a medial prefrontal seed. Psilocybin caused a significant decrease in the positive coupling between the mPFC and PCC. These results strongly imply that the subjective effects of psychedelic drugs are caused by decreased activity and connectivity in the brain's key connector hubs, enabling a state of unconstrained cognition.
EDIT: Wrong link. This one might be interesting as well so I've left it here:

Your statement is technically correct because of the use of the word "completely", but wrong in a practical sense. The algorithm used to solve these games is iterative, so the solution only ever approaches a complete solution, but this is only meaningful if you want to argue that a 0.0000001BB difference in win-rate per hand is really meaningful.
The doctors job is to provide me with as much information about the objective criteria of my physical condition as possible. However when it comes to making choices about my treatment, say in the case of accepting/rejecting an experimental drug with some potentially nasty side effects, it should be entirely my own value judgement on what to do with said information.
