It's kind of sad to see these statements repeated so often ...
* "ultimately handily defeat StockFish in almost every single game it plays against it" the vast majority of the games were draws actually
* Regarding "stockfish is too materialistic" ... if you watch last TCEC's premier division and superfinal, you'll find games where stockfish offered to sacrifice a lot of material, lc0 accepted the sacrifice and went on to lose far later in the game.
* It's unknown (except for people at deepmind, probably) if a0 is still stronger than stockfish. stockfish gained a lot of elo since the published match (and would beat the stockfish version a0 played against in more games than a0 did)
