Subject: What makes Junior so good?

People say that junior 6a is not tactically the greatest, and no one seems to
agree that it is the best knowledge program either! Yet it is possibly the most
succesful program (against other computers) and at worsed second best.
In Iraqouzis tournament some time ago, it looked way better than its closest
rivals.So if not knowledge or tactics, then what makes it so great? something
else?
 And I wouldn't agree it has been tested properly against humans yet either.
Against humans I think it needs much more testing than against other programs,
since humans are moving objects. Some programs might be psychologically more
tricky for humans but not stronger against them necesarily.Until-of course the
human is used to it.
