It's pretty easy to see whether someone is using MTD, apart
from that the programmers don't mind to tell this part of it.

If a program needs for a lot of pvs like 10 researches,
then suspicion is real quick that he might use MTD.

Unless your program stays at home and no one can have a look at it,
it's clear that you can figure this out real soon.

Note that from deep blue printouts you can easily see it's not using MTD
in the software part.
