Another key point that Hikaru keeps coming back to is that a grandmaster doesn't need the computer to tell him all of the moves - a grandmaster will recognize a key point in the game, and just needs a simple computer evaluation of the most beneficial play. With just that one computer analysis of a position, Hikaru says no grandmaster would ever lose to another human.

Completely unrelated but here is a funny video of Hikaru getting his ass kicked by Canadian GM (and Flames fan) Eric Hensen.
