No
they
don't.
They
don't
instantly
know
everything
about
zero-k.
They
learn
through
mistakes
and
social
learning
(
mostly
from
mistakes)
.
This
is
not
"magical"
at
all.
This
is
normal.
Magical
is
if
I,
having
never
played
zero-k
before,
suddenly
knew
everything
about
zero-k
with
very
little
experience.

In
other
words,
it's
a
win
ratio.
If
it
was
not
a
win
ratio,
then
it
would
be
independant
of
win/loss.
You
can
argue
indirectly
that
it
is
a
measurement
of
skill
(
need
skill
to
win)
but
it
falls
apart
when
you
have
multiple
agents
helping
you
win.
