Maybe, if she wrote anything about what the problem was I may have overlooked
it. But it doesn't eliminate the statistics, unless the faults are very obvious.

Well done. Not only did you find possible errors, but you made her admit it. I'm
unable to accomplish the latter. Well, I'll survive.

If the software is similar evidence carries more weight IMO. I wouldn't trust my
old PII to find anything remotely devious, so why should I try to convince
someone that it can. And since your understanding of chess is superior to mine,
I'll leave it in your capable hands.

Or maybe with Craftys? Or both?

The same applies at this end.
