Hmm.

As stated elsewhere in this thread, Robert isn't aware of any such terms, and
given that he's reasonably familiar with computer chess and evaluation, he
believes that there are no such terms.

You believe that there are such terms.  When asked for any, however, you demand
that Robert produce them for you.  Lovely dilemma there (if he accepts it) -- if
he produces a term which is difficult, then he's proved your argument against
him, and if he doesn't, then he's ... ignorant?  No, can't quite derive that
from your post.  But you would say he's certainly lacking in knowledge about DB.
 Do you see the problem here?

I think it would help your case if you came up with the evidence, instead.
