There is
absolutely no possible way for people to cross a road, except if they look both ways first, wait until there are no cars, then put one foot in front of the other and eventually they'll end up on the other side.
This is your same argument, just with a different situation. You state that it's impossible to beat a perfect iteration of 469 and then in the exact same breath, you list potential ways to
actually beat 469.
And besides, perfect iterations of nearly every robot design would make it very, very difficult to play defense or to outscore them. But life is never perfect, and that's where strategy comes into play.
