I think it is a pointless experiment. For those that don't want to accept DB for what it was, _nothing_ is going to change their mind. They will keep finding new excuses as to why some finding is in error. Any program that could produce a 2655 rating over 25 consecutive games to win the Fredkin GM prize, and then have a successor with 25X as many circuits and 100X the speed, _must_ be a strong chess player. There is no way on earth I can see how it could be weaker than today's best programs. That statement boggles the mind, IMHO.
