If they do it today then they should report it but if they talk about a game from 1995 then I have no problem if they do not tell that they used pentium90 for Deep Fritz. I think that it is known here that Deep blue(100M or 200M nodes per second) played public games only against kasparov so if somebody discusses about history game against Deep blue then it is clear that he does not mean to the same Deep blue that played against kasparov.
