No, he doesn't have a point, since you can't determine GM strength by gathering the results of several programs, reach GM strength within the bounds of uncertainty and then conclude that one of the programs are GM strength. Because you already know that none of programs alone are of GM strength with certainty due to a large ELO uncertainty, otherwise it wouldn't be necessary to add them together. So nonsense is the appropriate word, even though truth distortion was unnecessary harsh. Best wishes... Mogens
