If there are already results from this program (and there ARE) against humans, one should take a look at them. And as there are other programs competing humans too, it is easy to compare the programs in their performance against humans. And as the main part here for the dutch Ch is to play comp-human one should consider the former results of comp-human and NOT comp-comp. BTW I'd prefer to have seen Fritz or any other chess program go through the qualifying to have a fair competition.
