I was not talking the public book.  Recall my statement "This all supposes the
authors are willing to let their tournament prepared books out, which I doubt"

Perhaps I created confusion by saying "you could test" since you can't test if
the book is not public.  Let me rephrase.  To prove or disprove Vincent's
statement you would need to test using a program with a tuned book such as Diep
or Zappa using Arturo's book or Shredder using Sandro's book.

What Arturo thinks about Shredder's book has nothing to do with what I'm talking
about.  My sole point is that, IMO, Tord did not test with the type book Vincent
described when he made his statement regarding the value of the book.
