As soon as you pick a program the uncertainty rises and the claim of GM strength vanishes. If you consider programs as a whole, some programs will have ratings above and below 2500, but that's irrelevant if you make a claim about a specific program. And a claim based on several programs is obviously a ludicrous thought. That is fact, so please stop that nonsense and truth distortion. Best wishes... Mogens
