Not to trivialize the opinions of those who still have issues with aspects of the AI, but it seems like there's always someone complaining that the AI made some ridiculous move or another. And maybe it did, but why keep tinkering with an aspect of the game that will never be perfect when there are so many other areas that need attention?

Can't agree with that one. There aren't very many things in our world that are perfect, but that doesn't mean we should stop trying to make them better. I put OOTP in the same category. The AI is never going to be perfect, but it can certainly be better than it is now in a number of areas. I don't see any reason why Markus should stop trying to make improvements in that aspect of the game, even if he never achieves "perfection" with the AI. I'd settle for "extrememly challenging", something one definitely can't say about the current AI as people continue to implement house rules to make the game more difficult in solo play.
