If you don't get it, or don't want to get it, fine. There is clearly more evidence to say they are unbeatable than there is evidence to the contrary. The 40 game match was a 1996 match, so that was _not_ on 486's... You can check with those that attended Murray's or Hsu's talks and they can probably tell you the exact hardware. The evidence is there. But you do have to open your eyes, and not your mouth.
