Can someone explain me what is the logic behind the unequal values of queen and
rook.

I do not believe that it is better than equal values without a clear evidence
for it.

I suspect that people got a wrong impression based on a small number of games to
decide that the unequal value for queen and rook is right.

I am not going to believe it without a logical reason.
I can see a logical reason that it may be better than other programs if they do
not know to play when there are queens on the board but I do not see a logical
reason that it is going to be better in a match against the personality with
equal values(9.8 for a queen and 4.95 for a rook)

I also want to know if there is a test that prove with 95% confidence that the
personality with the unequal values is better than the personality with the
equal values.

If there is no proof for it then I am not going to believe that  the personality
with the unequal values is better.
