This is hot, isn't it?

- The first 6 (!) programs are in a range of only 25 points. That is even less
than the error margin provides. So only non-significant 10 points make the
difference between #5 and #2! Don't forget that!

- The #2 - #6 are in a range of 11 points! For #4, #5 and #6 only ONE point
decides.

This proves again what I say since ages:
The top 5 (or this time top 6, there is a small gap to #7, but this is also only
27 points...) programs are of equal strength, none of them stronger than the
others.
