“Hype” is propaganda based on smoke and this is not what I am doing. We have
quite outstanding results coming from several sources. Some results at 40/2,
some at 60/30, and so far all seem to indicate that Tiger is the strongest in
comp-comp. Results are facts, no hype. You may or may not like them, but your
choice of the word “hype” is most unfortunate.

SSDF people explained this very many times already. They might do it again in
this thread.
