Subject: Rebel victory over humans, why not Chessbase Engines?

Here is a question I'd like to share with all of you,
I was reading over the rebel site, and I was SHOCKED to see that rebel is
beating up GM's and super grandmasters left right and center,
http://www.rebel.nl/edindex.htm

look at rebel vs...down the left side.   These were done in 1999, on crappy
processors that our processors laugh at today.  They didn't have 8 processors
and 2 gigabytes of ram.  So the question is,  what is going on here?

Maybe emphasis is put too much on the results of computer vs computer to pick a
computer 'champion'  in man vs machine, instead of results vs humans?

If i were to choose a program 'company' to honestly and aggressively make a
program to beat the best in the world, i would put my money on Rebel

Opinions?
