Good point, also see:

IBM entered as DB in the WCCC 95.  The tournament listed it as
DB and all the books on the subject refer to DB.  Dr Hyatt needs
it to be DT (even though it proves nothing) for his silly
argument that DB 97 can beat all of today's programs 90% of the
time.  :)

I think Dr Hyatt is emotionally attached to DB for the following
reasons:

1.  He got clobbered by DT, so to save face, it must the 100 years
    better and billions and billions times faster.

2.  He fought for DT to get the Frieken award, thus his reputation
    is on the line.
