I disagree.  Hardware failures and even operator errors have no bearing on the
performance of the programs algorithm.  If a true indication of performance
between Human and programs is to be revealed here, games where the program
actively causes a loss due to calculations should be included with the exception
of the Forfeits and IP failures.
