After a very deep computer search, an advantage of less than a pawn is shown for
f4.  I suspect that one hour per move computer search by a very fast machine
with a very good program will find at least one mistake in every GM match with
more than a trivial number of moves.

On the other hand, a super GM spending one hour per move will also surely find
at least one mistake in every computer/computer match.

Kasparov's ego should be apparent from when he lost the second Deep Blue match.
Even if he agreed to throw it, I suspect he would go ahead and clobber anyway if
he could.

He has a win as white and a draw as black.  Quite frankly, I think both parties
have performed superbly up to this point.

Can you draw Kasparov?

Surely, Kasparov has prepared like a madman.  He does not want the embarassment
of losing to a machine again.  I doubt if a billion dollars would make him throw
the match.  He already has money.  What will he sell his reputation for?

Be serious.
