Lets analyze this a litter,

Facts:
  - Adams get a win for the match. (he will play Kasparov).
  - Adams and DJ dont finish one game then they didnot play any complete game.
  - The create situation was complex and delicate but not insoluble.

Very probable Facts:
  - The problems that prevent finish the 1 game was net problems (if was
    participant problems then simple solution will be forfeited that
    participant).


hypothetical case:

Change Deep Junnior by Shirov (for example) then simulate the same situacion
with the same problems, (only diference is Shirov is playing instead DJ)

Then how can we justify the decicion of forfeit Shirov?  HOW?

This decicion is only explain with a big discrimination against the Computer in
this case program DJ.

Race      discrimination
Sex       discrimination
Religion  discrimination
geography discrimination
....      discrimination
....      discrimination
etc.      discrimination
and now:
Computers discrimination

Are the Human been a genetic discriminator???, When we learn to make just
decicion or at least not make unjust desicions???


Note:  Of course the "computer dont get tired" argument is not valid because the
resistance or stamina is one more quality of all chess player like knowledge or
calculate lines.,  Then in this especific characteristic (resistence) computer
are best than any human.  But if you continuous think that the decicion taken is
in some form  justify by this factor then you are saying that we most give Adams
2 points and the match because he is very tired"
