Subject: Truly deserved computer ratings?

  Is it not true that human ratings are lower than computer ratings relative to
true standard of play due to the fact that humans make many blunders of the
nature that computers do not?
  That is what I Have always beleived as being one of the reasons why computers
do as well as they do.
  In other words, it could possibly be that 2650 on ssdf = 2550 against
well-prepared, top humans or even 2500 which is = 2400 in actual standard of
play, discounting tactical and mechanical extras.
Is this correct?
