My problem with his statement is that I _know_ that he knows it is false, if
he really made it in the first place.  He _knows_ because he has played them
more than once OTB at ACM/WCCC events.  And once you see the machine, and its
analysis and speed, you _know_ what it is capable of.  And once you watch it
do its thing to other computers over and over, no one in their right mind would
think that with a factor of at least 100X slower machine, they would really be
anywhere near "equal" with the thing.  I don't believe my program would compete
with someone 10x or 100x faster.  Because I understand the dynamics of the tree
search, and how important the search space volume really is.

It boils down to "market-speak" or hyperbole.  And as a scientist, I don't have
a lot of love for that stuff.  I prefer technical details, not hand-waving.
