These arguments back and forth about blaim are immaterial.  For the SSDF
rating list to have credibility, Rebel 8 and 9 must be tested at full
strength with each program's full opening book.  Now whether this means
retesting hundreds of games, are just a few, I believe that the SSDF
list will have no validity until proper testing is done.  Again, whose
error this is does not matter in the least; please just correct the
error in the next SSDF list.
