There are some problems with these results:
1)the ssdf did not test Fritz5.16 and tested only Fritz5.01
2)It is possible that the +12 is a result of a better book and not a better
engine
3)the statistical error is bigger than 12
4)not all the games of the ssdf are public so it is possible that there is a
hidden error in the results.

I found an error in 4 games of the match Rebel8(p90)-Junior5(p200) (Junior5 was
slowed down by a big factor) so the tester repeat this match but it is
impossible to find errors in most of the games because most of the games are not
public games.
