My take on all this is that it is truly a pointless argument.  Neither side is
going to budge without seeing some real games (between DB '97 and DJ '00), which
is never going to happen.  I don't think you can derive any probabilities for a
match between the two machines by either TPRs produced against various humans,
NPS, past performance vs. other computers, or anything else.
