Your sarcasm is misplaced. The analysis could not conceivably PROVE
cheating, but could had done a lot to disprove it. Say, if after 36.Qb6
Rd8 white would not have the 37.Be4 resource, there would not have been
much more to explain, and actually I would be disappointed if my program
did not reject Qb6 after a reasonable amount of time. As it turned out,
the analysis did not find any such clear explanation.
Although I'm sick of legal parallels in this issue, I'll go for another
one: In any case an alibi ("He was here!") is an excellent defense. "He
could have been somewhere else" is no defense at all. When we took up
this analysis, we did the defense's part in looking for an alibi. We
didn't find one. That doesn't mean he's guilty, but there's no alibi.
