No, you only cut & paste what Christophe said, and you didn't paste in what I
said that he was responding to, which was as a matter of fact more than one
single thought. And, take a look at what you pasted in there, read it line for
line.  It does not ask any specific question.  _If_ he was asking why I didn't
feel that blitz games were a good way to judge a program's strength, then he's
welcome to ask that, but he didn't.  He only asked "Why?" to a general group of
things that I said, that's why I didn't answer "Why?"  I asked him to clearify
what he was asking.
