I agree that 2 equal computers is better to test which program is better but I
do not agree that it is worthless.

I believe that the mistake in rating because of posting engine-engine games is
usually not more than 50 elo rating.

People also post games with unequal hardware and I have no problem with it so I
have no problem with engine-engine games if the posters do not hide it.
