Dr. Hyatt works on a strong freeware engine. He doesn't need 400 differnt Rebel Tiger clones playing Crafty all day long taking time away from other possible players. Variation in style is probably more important then 50 games in a day against Rebel Tiger. Having said this, I also personally think that due to the ease of setting up rebel online, the ICC should start limiting the accounts given to that engine like the limits puts on Crafty and Gnuchess.
