Yea in a way I understand how it relates, i don't know that it necessarily applies to SC very well, I think a lot of wins especially in finals where there is preparation the player uses a lot of cleverly crafted and very narrow timings, that in my mind are just looking to snub their opponent not necessarily keep their options open to react to everything accordingly. If instead of talking about pro players and tournaments you related it to the ladder where you are not studying your opponents style and in all likelihood don't even know them, it might apply slightly more as you may be more inclined to keep your options open (or go for a timing =/ )

Also although it is an interesting concept, using one equation to try and encapsulate the essence of AI is far to simple of a solution.

http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/elements/2013/05/a-grand-unified-theory-of-everything.html , this talks about the project (company) that the presenter is working on. I thought he was just talking about someone else's theory but he clearly is going on ted to promote his own theory to get more publicity for the company that he made based on it.
