Perhaps the non-programmers are weighing the evidence more impartially than the programmers.

Find one. even one-half of one. :) If I claimed to he half a chess programmer, would my opinion count? And another thing - it's no good saying that the SSDF ratings inflate too much because it's so easy to make adjustments to your program to make it win against itself. I agree - it's probably easy to do that - but to make it win more often against the diverse range of programs that exist in the SSDF is another matter. -g
