the SSDF was esablished in 1984 because many companies were making wild false
claims about the ratings of their computers
the SSDF was established to test the old computers in a fair and partial way and
determine a reliable rating
human play had no part in this initial role
the true strength of a computer as compared to humans was not the intended goal
and it is not the goal today

yes i agree..but they do not care about ratings relative to humans and so they
do not incorporate games against humans
