The fact that the ssdf reduced the rating of all programs by 100 elo to make the rating of the top programs similiar to fide rating also demonstrates that point. If the ssdf does not care about rating relative to humans they could increase the rating of all programs by 2000 elo so everybody knows that their rating has no relevance to humans. If they care about rating relative to humans they need games against humans. Uri
