Even if this poll was presented after several argumetns about why positional
play should be considered important, and hence it can look biased, I don't think
I ever had the impression it was presented to "poove" anything about rebel vs
fritz, but rather it gave me the impression to be a way of yours (Ed) to probe
the taste of your present and potential customers.

Biasing an answer to be given to yourself would have been the worst way of
mistaking by wishful thinking.

On the other side, I read the answers as that of many Italians that pretend that
their wife/mother behaves "honestly", while they try to seduct others (wifes and
mothers of other people of course).
I mean many (not all) have answered "yes make rebel stronger from the positional
poin of view", while they were buying the newest version of Fritz/Junior, and
even Tiger, may be beacuse it was just faster in calcualting.
